the documentation of your mail program if in doubt), it will be distributed and
the explanations you  are now reading will be removed  automatically. If on the
other hand you edit the contributions you  receive into a digest, you will have

Hi,
We do this at SLU for Windows only.  I'll be talking about it at CALICO.  Will you be there?  Don't have my presentation done yet but will be happy to share once it is.  It was a complicated puzzle but it can be done and works like a charm!

> I'm getting queries from our IT folks about how to make *computer* DVD drives region-free.  Does anyone here have any info on which manufacturers' drives can get their firmware hacked?  They've apparently found someething that works temporarily on one, but that's obviously not a good solution to have the teacher go into DOS, run this thing, to reset it every so many changes...  We have Mac and Windows machines, and finding a solution for either would be helpful.  I have heard about the possibility of throwing away the DVD preferences on the Mac, but everything I've ever read about DVDs and region-codes indicates that you can make only 5-6 switches before the *firmware* of the drive locks in the region.  Any help would be most appreciated!
