 Stefan:
 
 Thank you for your feedback.
 
 I was aware that the "fetch" command was not able to access to the right file.
 In addition, it appears that address I had became invalid.
 I wanted avoid manual download but it seems necessary at this point.
 
 Which documents should I move to DOCSDIR, docs only or all of docs, javadoc, and demo?
 
 Thanks,
 Hiro
