Thank you. I have received it, and we will hear from Tom Miles about
it being posted or not by him. If he does not post it, I can at my
site or maybe at the BEF site.
A document that size cannot go through the Stoves Listserv, so other
readers who want a copy will soon be able to get it via a website.
I believe that similar documents should or could be made available via
some websites. What other ones are available? Is there a list of
titles you could send?
Paul
