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 cwpdg@xxxxxxxxxx , 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
