"Forget the CD Rom, buy the book" according to Old Engineer. The book is great. The CD-Rom is an exercise in frustration. That you can only install it on a single computer is the first frustration.

It is simply a collection of outstanding pdf files that are wonderfully linked and indexed. The entire thing is easily copied to HD, it runs fine without the CD, and no r. 6th Edition CD-ROM is great! Later versions are suspect. I really like the "26th Edition CD-ROM is great!
