Re: [IUG] Amazon cover art on 2006 and WebPac Pro

["Robert F. Rapp" <rfrapp at mf dot lib dot wi dot us>]

I believe he is talking about the .01.00TLZZZZ, which has nothing to do 
with being an affiliate (which has to do with getting $ for purchases 
made through your links) or registered to use web services (which is 
actually what you are supposed to do to use the images, etc.).  It is a 
"mask" with variables specifying the type and size of the image.

I just wanted to be clear on this.
