Muerrisch Posted 21 July , 2006 Author Share Posted 21 July , 2006 I am planning one last push, but cannot find the data base on line. Fortunately I have the full text on disc. I have a major contribution on its way to me, then, when incorporated, I will ask Chris to consider moving the lot to the mother site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
