The File-Aid and Xpeditor links on the main page look like they're going to some college (indiana.edu) website.

Since Compuware requests that you register before downloading those documents, it seems like this link should not be published. It seems like a copyright infringement that could get this board into trouble.

Since it's so easy to actually get the registered versions of these manuals, I think that you should put a link to the Compuware Frontline page instead. This way, your users will be able to get the manuals that match their release of the products.

At the very least, you should get permission from the college before using their site's bandwidth.

Thanks for the FYI. I have disabled these links for now and will look into this.
