A great pity that some of us couldn't get into the archives. Interestingly, the Oxford list reported similar problems. We were all trying the same web addresses but with mixed results - some got in whilst others struggled with barcodes and passwords. There were no special requirements or settings on your PC to gain access - all it needed was Cookies Enabled. I'm sure there's an explanation somewhere. Don
