This is a real plus. I just converted the first three parts (all that have arrived so far) to Texinfo. This means I can print it so it looks real nice in a 7 by 9 inch book format. (Could also do other formats). It much easier to read hardcopy that is nicely typeset. Also, of course, the same source formats for on-line hypertext. Convenient. Three cheers for Nick. (Also, the content looks interesting....) Incidently, I printed Cowan's papers from the archive in ASCII, but refilled the lines to 64 characters. (This message is refilled to 64 character wide lines, to show what I mean.) Because of the large interline spacing, I can read longer lines on my screen and this message looks narrow. However, I find that my small font, closely spaced ASCII hardcopy is hard to read unless the lines are shorter (thus replicating a centuries old rule of thumb among old fashioned printers). Robert J.
