Yes if any one can make the document safer and easier to open --- surely
possible if it was only a few pages long --- or are the results able to be
posted on a website and we can be told the URL and look at it if we choose
to?
Personally,  after reading all the whinges and the few supportive emails I
would like to know the content because it seems very important. My email was
strangled by the size of Marsha's message > 797 000 bytes and the only way
to access any of the other emails (which I had not been able to access for
several days) was to delete it --- so afterall the humbug I am none the
wiser. 

Is anyone on the list sufficiently technologically savvy to help distribute
or alternatively have it hosted on a pc site somewhere?
