ANST-Announce - Stefan's files for October

[Mark.S Harris]

Greetings,

Here is a copy of my Florilegium article for October describing
what is new in my Florilegium files.

If you have suggestions, criticisms or comments about these files,
please let me know by email. If you have written an article, perhaps
for a local newsletter, that others in the Known World might be
interested in please consider sending it to me for possible 
inclusion in the Florilegium.

If you maintain an SCA webpage and would like to recieve a version
of this article formatted for the web please let me know.

--------
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 is on the web at: http://www.florilegium.org

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 or text formats.

If you find a bad link or other problem with the Florilegium website, 
please let me know. Once I know about a problem I can usually fix it
that day but if no one alerts me to a problem it may be months before
I notice it myself.

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.
