[* Their Knowledge Base web site (http://search.support.microsoft.com/kb/c.asp)
usually contains a wealth of information for the asking. I'm surprised it didn't
have this information -- IF, that is, this is public information. I wouldn't
surprise me in the least if M$ considered this, for some odd reason, to be some
sort of "trade secret"!]
