Warren, from what I recall, this has been accessible elsewhere than here for about a year. I recall seeing something about this Savage book set on-line prior to May, 1999...and it was transcribed in 1994 by a man. As I had access to hard-bound copies, I paid scant attention to it being on-line.

When the Web pages were in the making, I did an HTML Transit batch conversion WP->HTML of vols. 3 and 4 and sent them to Debbie. Aside from a little kibitzing about fonts, that's it. The *real* heavy lifting, the entire superb design of the site and massaging the HTML are Debbie's and Holly's efforts -- with Ginger executing the beautiful graphics. Great job, guys! If SKS would forward this to VTWINDSO and NORTHEAST and whatever other lists it was posted to, I'd be very grateful. If there is sufficient demand for it, I may find Web server space somewhere for my zipped WordPerfect volumes, for people who want them on their hard drives. They convert very easily to MS Word and presumably to other word processing formats. The advantage of having them on one's own hard drive, for me at least, is that they are easy to search and annotate, and are not fazed by my ISP's frailties.

Dear Miss Dee: They are indeed available unformatted on genweb, either straight text or zipped. Unfortunately, someone at genweb has locked the page so I couldn't get in a few minutes ago. Yrs cordially, Mister.
