No, because (a) 1988, (b) ring someone up?! But thanks for the
suggestion.

I found a partial PAL archive at ftp.cs.kuleuven.be which contains the
relevant catalog entry and says "Approved for public release;
distribution unlimited". Unfortunately "partial" means "doesn't contain
this asset".

I have a 1998 and a 2000 PAL on CD, but neither has this package.
