ANST-Announce - Stefan's files for August

[Mark.S Harris]

Greetings to those upon these lists,

Here is a copy of my article for August on what is new in my Florilegium files.

Some servers have trouble with the underscore in the domain name given below.
An alternative address is: http://lonestar.texas.net/~lg_photo/florilegium/

Any newsletter editors who would like to recieve this article at the beginning
of the month for publication instead of at the end can be put on my list by
sending me your name, email address, group and newsletter name.

If anyone has any suggestions or complaints about these files, please feel
free to send me email. If anyone finds a file listed is not at the site,
please let me know so that I can fix this.

If anyone has additional articles that they have written on a subject that
would be of interest to others in the Known World, especially in the Arts 
and Sciences, please consider sending them to me for inclusion in this
Florilegium. The author keeps the copyright and I will remove or update
an article at the author's request.

Stefan

A Blending of the Past and Present       

Over the past nine years in an ongoing effort, I have been collecting bits of 
useful information from various newsgroups, mail lists and articles submitted 
to me by their authors. In order to make this information available to others, 
I have placed this information in a series of files I call Stefan’s Florilegium.

The Florilegium website now has new front door site. This site is at:
http://lg_photo.home.texas.net/florilegium/index.html

While most of the files will still reside at the old address the latest 
updated files and index files will be at the new site.

Files that are new or have been updated are indicated by a special marker
in the filelists at the website. In addition, the file -updated-files is
a listing of these files in chronological order.

A copy of my complete filelist is available in most sections of the website. 
This filelist or any of my files is also available from me by email in either 
Word 6.0 or text formats.
