Thanks! (I haven't actually counted, but I think there
are roughly 100 pages.)

Good idea. (We'll have to post it in short sections.)

The best news of the day is we have a volunteer
on this list, who has a CD writer, and can DO that!!
Isn't that wonderful news?? :)

That's a key element. Proofing is very important,
and very time consuming. We also need to decide
how to handle Harry's errors. Do we type them
AS he did, or do we correct them?

(blush). Thank you. I'll do my best, but I see it
more as a "Team" effort, really. But, you're correct,
once we get it entered into the computer, we won't
have to fool with photocopying any more, AND we'll
have a crisp, clear copy. The cost of reproducing
and mailing, will drop way down, because we'll be
putting all the data on one diskette or CD, in addition
to the time it will save after the original typing effort.
