   Could someone please mail the recent message about using the
   definitive reference standard box of 64 Crayola crayons (with the
   built-in sharpener!)

The available reference (which someone else posted already) was based
on the 72-crayon standard (a later ANSI rev than the 64-crayon
standard), but I think it will still serve your purposes.  

The ISO 497-crayon standard is still in committee.  The French
delegation raised objections to the standard pronunciation of "mauve",
so it may be a while longer.  In the mean time, the 72-crayon box is
useful, lighter weight, fits in a more regularly-shaped box, easier to
keep sharp, less costly at replacement time due to meltdown or
teeth-cutting/cat-chewing, and universally available.  Even though
it's not an International Standard.
