I would love to, but I found out it was not released into
the public domain as yet. Good thing those files are not good.

Is it possible that those disks have a mild copy protection scheme?
Another possibility is that whoever created the .po files, removed the
disks from the drive before they were completely finished reading.
Yet again, maybe they were made with incorrect settings. That is even
the best prognosis. Anyway, since they are not PD yet, they are pirate
copies and should be taken down until we get the author or pulisher
to release it.
