[OB] Interested in buying a Omnibook 425 or 430

[Jean-Yves Pontailler]

Hi,

I suppose I won't really infringe a copyright if I send you such
an obsolete software. What is the opinion of users of the list ?

I'll scan the relevant part of the manual and send it to you
tomorrow with the program (unless guys on the list tell me
I must not do it !)

Regards,
Jean-Yves
