Greetings Heralds of Ansteorra.

I am pleased to offer a new service.  Those of you who have looked at
the PDF version of the OP will have noticed in the back that there
are listings of all recipients of awards sorted into the various
types of awards, from the Crown down through the grant level awards,
with a select few non-armigerous awards also included that are of
special interest.  What is lacking are similar listings below grant
level.  For example, there is no list of recipients of the Queen's
Glove, Sable Crane, Golden Bridle, etc.  That information is
available in the awards section of the OP, but it would be very time
consuming to go through and pick out individual types of awards.

That has changed now.  Available on the OP page at:
	http://heraldry.ansteorra.org/OP/
there is now a new icon titled "Lesser Awards" that will bring up a
text file of all award recipients below the grant level, sorted by
award.

Who would use such a file?  There could be many uses, such as:

1)  The keeper of the Archery Web Page can copy the list of all the
King's Archers to post on the archery site.

2)  A Baronial herald could get a list of all the Baronial Service
Orders from his or her branch, or a shire herald could get a list of
all Sable Comets for his or her branch.

3)  Those who are curious and like to tinker can compare how many
Sable Thistles were awarded for Illumination as opposed to Costuming.

In short, it is available for whatever use people wish to put it to.
I will not be adding this to the PDF version of the OP in order to
keep the size down.  I calculate that it would almost triple the size
of the OP if I did so.

Like the other files published relating to the OP, this will be
updated at least once per month.

In service to Crown and Kingdom,

Rumil Fletcher
