Unless Adobe decides to invoke the ubiquitous (and iniquitous) "can be 
changed without notice" clause.

So much of this ....? Long time back, in CPA school, I had a Law Prof 
explain "If you're negotiating a contract and the guy you're negotiating 
with insists on having the right to screw you written into the contract, 
forget everything else he says. He means to screw you. He just hasn't 
figured out when the best time to do it is."

That's been echoing in my mind since Sept. 1980.? Prof Wiley (yes, his real 
name) has never YET been wrong about that.? Not once.

Gravity still works, too.?
