It doesn't look free... there's a demo available... perhaps that's what you
mean.

It also looks like it's Winders-only. Doesn't help me.

Since we, as taxpayers, have already paid to produce this information,
I think there should be a means of providing it en-masse. With bittorrents all the

knows of place to download the whole mess, I'd be glad to hear about it.
