Ann's up to 1989, and plans to scan them up to 1997 when the format of the magazine changed. The CDs will cost about $20 each, plus p&p. A couple of years' worth fit on one CD. The whole collection will probably be 12 CDs. CD1 1951 - 1961 CD2 1962 - 1966 CD3 1967 - 1970 CD4 1971 - 1974 CD5 1975 - 1977 CD6 1978 - 1980 CD7 1981 - 1983 CD8 1984 - 1986 CD9 1987 - 1989 If you're interested in these, best thing would be to contact Ann Woolf, [EMAIL PROTECTED] or 08 8541 3982. > Have you considered putting the entire thing on line?

The magazines aren't scanned to text: doing all that OCR would be a *really* big job. As it is, Ann's been working on this full-time for months. > .. Are > there any copyright or other barriers to putting everything on line? That I don't know. But I believe there's no problem with putting Ann's index online, because she created it herself. I'll let the list know when I have something useful to show. _______________________________________________ Aus-soaring mailing list Aus-soaring@lists.internode.on.net To check or change subscription details, visit: http://lists.internode.on.net/mailman/listinfo/aus-soaring
