	My reference to MS-Word is to the suggestion by Mr. Skuchas for
volunteer typists to type selected portions of the 300+ page book so the
*whole thing* is then in digital form.  I suggested ASCII instead.
	This is the first time I have seen any reference to any part of this
document being in digital form - I don't remember Dr. Fred saying
anything about the table of contents being on disk before.

	I-F  the enclosed ASCII text is the same thing that you have on
computer disk and that you would gladly provide on computer disk for us
if we would pay postage and costs, then we really don't need to use the
US mail since we already have the copy!

	THANKS!  How long before you finish the other 300+ pages?!?!<VBG>
