Obviously your having trouble comprehending what was said in the previous post.

Wrox had no employees at the time of liquidation. There was no one to assist Wiley in retrieving the data. Many of the machines were leased and were repossessed before anyone could get the data off of it.

Now, if you understand contract law as it would apply to this kind of transaction (at least in the US), Wiley publishing bought the name "Wrox" the domain names associated with Wrox and some books that were published by Wrox. They did not buy the company (or the debts of the company). As such, they are not really responsible for the promises that were made by the previous owners of the name "Wrox". Being a book published in 2002, this was before Wrox became owned by Wiley. If your so upset about this that you want a refund, you should contact the liquidators of the old parent company and register as an unsecured creditor.

I know, however, they are working to try and get the information online as quickly as they can. They have attempted to recover what data they could out of machines and, I believe, contacting authors to see if they still have copies of the exercise answers.

I certainly think it unfair to blame the Wiley company for the problems you have with another company all together, just because they use the same trade name as that old company.

The people at Wiley certainly, to me, seem dedicated to fixing the technical problems as quickly as they possibly can. I am sad that there are people out there who refuse to understand that.
