To everyone who didn't want to read a note from me to Abby about microfilms: sorry! I did that noted stupid thing of hitting the reply button without checking first to see the reply-line address. And thanks to those who have inquired: no, nothing desperate is wrong with me! I simply strained some back muscles; and while immobilizing and horribly painful at the time, this is something that goes completely away given time and physiotherapy. (The time, of course, is the problem . . . . ) Anne Lancashire
