>Thanks to all those who have sent Christmas wishes and to those who >celebrate this event, may it be a very happy day. >For those who don't celebrate Christmas, please have happy holidays! >And the best to all for the New Year Hi Joy and Bob, No I am not speaking from beyond the grave. <grin> Though at times it seemed close. All behind me now <fingers frimly crossed>. Do you have the reports from the Perth conference available? I would be prepared to pay for them, if you let me know how much. I would prefer them in electronic format, i.e., on floppy, or download from an FTP site, if possible. Our research group has established a PD information site on http://www.bec.net.au/~cwpd/index.html I would be pleased if you (and any of your members interested) visited it, and emailed me your comments ( on [log in to unmask] , the link in the site). Unfortunately I have not been able, to date, to sort out with the Webmaster of bec.net.au the correct permissions and file/directory names to get Perl CGI up and running, but when I do, I hope to have an online guestbook with provision for comments. I also plan to have a message centre, where callers can leave and read messages interactively, together with the capability for maintaining the site remotely. Eventually I hope to include a membership sign-up area, where selected details of our research can be made available to approved persons. Looking forward to hearing from you, Jim
