  Of course. One of the big drawbacks of no machine readable copies for
anyone except the committee is that only they can do a comprehensive
search for a topic. One of the nice CD ROM programs which indexes on
every word would be perfect for this. Of course that would reduce the
trqaffic in this group by an order of magnitude, and allow people who
can only spend an hour or two looking for something to be experts, too.
