ANST - A Long Introduction (long)

[Mark.S Harris]

Greetings unto Sarah,

I'm starting a new message since yours was kinda long to reply to. Hope I remember
all your questions.

I have a set of files, called Stefan's Florilegium, that I think can help
you with a number of your questions.

They can be found on the web at: http://www.pbm.com/~lindahl/rialto/rialto.html
or if you don't have WWW access, I can email you files in Word or text format.
I can also send you my complete filelist this way. Some folks find it easier
to browse through the list than through multiple web pages.

Files that I think you or your family might find useful include:
