Sigh.  I hope Dave is not paying attention too closely to this thread on 
the APD.  This could get nasty.

The pickle is that I DID include the two out-of-print issues of PAM in the 
TAG CD.

As far as I'm concerned, these reprints are as darned close to reprints of 
the magazines as humanly possible.  We went through this five years ago... 
If we started doing OCR and reformatting, it's no longer strictly a 
reprint.  But since these are just scans of the pages directly, they're 
essentially reprints.  Did Gomberg's agreement with his authors not cover 
reprint of the magazine itself?

What I'm worried about now is that either (a) Dave will now claim that 
we're illegally reprinting PAM, because he has the rights even though we 
bought all the stock and bailed out his membership, or (b) Dave will, in 
his "undercutting" mode, make his own CD with all the PAM issues on it, 
and we will essentially lose whatever remaining value the paper copies 
have.
