Dear Subscribers,
I believe that the ASB offered a wonderful service. Thanks to
G.A. Smith and the ASB officers for making the abstracts available on
their WWW.
The scanned abstracts will be useful as well, provided you
have at least an index of titles from which a surfer can make his
selection before downloading the large graphic file.
Processing the scanned papers with an OCR program for obtaining
text code is of course possible but time consuming. Maybe some kind
subscriber will consider offering his help for doing that either
immediately or later.
Wouldn't some of the authors of the missing papers be so kind as to
send just the text of their paper by e-mail to the ASB? The pictures
will be easily obtained by trimming the scanned image, thus reducing the
graphic file(s) size.
With the kindest regards,
