My thought is that the informative value of illustrating the technical
difficulties the blind community faces in accessing accurate information
outweighs the proprietary concerns a large company might have in protecting
its out-of-date technical writings.  However, if I am wrong and, if someone
complains to Borland, and if Borland asks me to take the file down, I will
do so quickly.  Of course, the file will be off the net long before any
complaint will have wound its way through the bureaucratic jungle.

Take Care,
Dudley
