Hello Phil -
Thank you for the advice. I think the fist thing I will do is take =
it down to the library and see what I can do with it there. I also want =
to see what it looks like on my own microfilm reader. I have worked =
with this kind of material before - it is tough making out what the =
person says. Fortunately I have a friend who will be working on the =
thing also, and together hopefully we will be able to work it out. So =
far I only know that he says it will be very difficult.
Roland.
