Right -- all of them reference materials which are already
nicely indexed and easily dumped out to disk.

Sure. But I don't find it likely that WC is trolling around
random newsgroups looking for juicy things to put on their
CD. It's shovelware. As I said, I know that there's no
guarantee of remaining CD-free, but I can't in good
conscience post this material when I have such strong reason
to believe that it *will* be discified and sold as reference
material.
