Anyone have a copy of the 1999 BOCO? I have a few questions and don't want to buy it.

Yes! Been away and have let this go to long. What I am looking for is the section /sections that apply to R-2 occupancy for fire protection. In older versions which I have the code allow fire walls in place of sprinklers. It seems that has gone away with the 2000 to 2009 IBC. If anyone can post the section from the 1999 BOCO I would be most grateful.
