Hi John,
As far as I remember none of these sounds are from the factory 
library even though they may have similar names.
It has been 10 years since I've owned an Emax and came 
acrossed a foot locker of Emax disk.
These disk where from a proprietery CD me and a friend had 
worked on.
The Bliss disk is from the EMX program I remember.
I received permission from Mike Prudence to distribute the EMX 
Program.

I would not want to do anything illegal here.
But I believe none of these disk to my best knowledge are from 
the factory library.

I do have the factory library stored on a hard drive which I 
downloaded from Rob's site when he did have them available. 
But these are not that folder.

Thanks,
Dana
