Information on obtaining the CD-ROM is included in the README file of
the software release.  THIS CD-ROM ONLY CONTAINS IMAGES!!  IT IS NOT
A "MULTI-MEDIA" CD-ROM PLAYABLE ON YOUR PERSONAL COMPUTER!!

There are LIMITED QUANTITIES of the CD-ROM's still available from the
American College of Cardiology.  Please contact:
