I've just spent 20 minutes confusing Canon UK with my request for
this CD and it seems that they have never heard of it. I don't suppose
you might be able to pass on any relevant info on the CD (assuming there
is any) as to whom I might contact in order to beg they post on to me in
the UK? As I would dearly like to pass something like this on to some of
the designers I support.
