	I used to have a hercules system but I don't have any of the technical
specs for them so I can't help you with this one. Pity, it sounds usefull.

	Maybe you could post some of the simpler circuits as ascii files as 
you have described above and put the more complex ones out as GIFFS (I think
your right, everyone has or can get access to a GIFF viewer). I think 
everyone would appreciate some stuff that can be readily attempted and 
commented  on. 
	For the bigger ones I'd say just let them be available by mail so that
the group doesn't get too clogged up.

	What say you all ??
