I'm still on the case.

I guess I could organise that for the overseas folks though obviously
it'd be more expensive to get 'em sent to me and then sent out again
with the CD's. OTOH it'd be easier for Wolden to copy 'em as a batch
than singly.

I could probably do this and try to arrange a bulk deal with Wolden if
there are enough people wanting 'em to justify the effort. The deal with
Wolden used to be 5 Pounds per tape (times 8 tapes) but with numbers
maybe the unit cost could be negotiated down.

For the sake of research, who'd be interested?

Ain't that the truth.
