I have been trying to reply to the plea by shaver@... but am not able to
get through with the several attempts I have made.  What follows is the
effort together with the response.

Can anyone tell me what I have done wrong?

How does one get in touch with shaver@...?

The beeb is alive and well, there is a great following for it in
the UK, lots of suppliers are supporting it and there is a lot of software
availlable together with manuals and lots of add-on goodies,  there are
also two magazines which support the beeb as well as several user clubs.

I am a user, but mainly for word-processing and other domestic problems,
if I can help with any specific questions, please mail me.

If you would like a copy of one or both of the magazines please mail
me an address to send it (them).

This is my third attempt to send you a message regarding the beeb,
I hope this one is successful!!

Alan Holmes
