Hi Bob,

The "Basic SDK" can be downloaded without signing anything, but  
unfortunately the required documentation is in the "Advanced SDK".   
For this, you have to sign an agreement and FAX it back to Adobe.   
Here is the response I got when I explained my intentions:

"Unfortunately, at this time we cannot support a request to  
distribute this information as it would allow some third parties to  
bypass the license agreement that we have in place to protect the PSD  
file format."

I didn't ask to distribute the information, but of course the  
information could be derived from my source code and the accompanying  
documentation.

- Phil
