David -- all Dover sheet music publications are part of public domain,
which explains why they are so cheap. They are the same editions
you'll find distributed on those SHEET MUSIC CD that seem to have
given birth to so many retailers.  You can go ahead with no qualms
whatsoever.

Oh, and please try the Windows Shell. ;)
