Yes.  AKA ("also known as") the Blackbird.  One of the sexiest planes
known to mankind.

However, SR-2 in this context almost certainly means Microsoft's
Service Release 2 for Office 97.  It's available as a huge (20+ meg)
patch if you have Service Release 1 already installed.  You can also
get a free CD-ROM of the patch from the Microsoft Web site.

However, if you have a non-OEM version of Office (OEM means Original
Equipment Manufacturer, and in this case refers to the "free" software
that came with your computer when you bought it), you can also get the
SR-2 Replacement CD, which contains the full Office suite (Standard or
Pro, depending on what you had to start with).  You can get this from
Microsoft by calling 800/370-9272 weekdays and asking for the "Office
97 SR-2 Replacement CD."  They'll want either the the number on your
jewel case or the product ID from the Help/About screen.  It should be
completely free, including shipping.

The nice thing about the replacement CD, as opposed to the patch, is
that if you hadn't installed SR-1, you don't have to, whereas the
patch only works on SR-1 versions of Office.

This has been a service (release) announcement.
