ANST-Announce - Stefan's files for February

[Stefan li Rous]

Greetings to those across the Known World,

Here is a copy of my Florilegium article for February.

We are currently making changes to the Florilegium website and hopefully
we will be adding some features that will make it easier to use. Please feel
free to send me any comments, suggestions or criticisms that you might
have.

Stefan

A Blending of the Past and Present       

Over the past ten 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 a new address. It is: http://www.florilegium.org
The old texas.net address will work for at least another few months.

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.

I am always interested in new articles. If you have written an article that
would be of interest to others in the SCA, please send it to me for possible
inclusion in the Florilegium. Contact me for more details.
