Actually, as far as I know, all of Staz' products _are_ available for "on 
line ordering", just not the downloading part.

I can understand _and_ agree with this policy for FB. What good would it 
be without the manuals??? And for the "other" products, well, the manuals 
are a good part of the value, although not as critical as for FB...

The only Staz product with "no" manual - except for the (excellent...) 
HTML one - is FnJnII/III. And, although not "direct" from Staz, it is 
certainly available for on-line downloading... unfortunately, while I 
take orders via email, the one piece that's missing _there_ is the 
credit-card acceptance! (But it seems like many of you have managed to 
drop a check in the mail, for which Staz & I thank you...)
