Thank you for the compliments on the Florilegium. I hope you read fast
if you want to read all of it. :-) Not only do I have a slight headstart,
since I think there are something over 1200 different files but I'm
currently adding ten to twenty new files per month. The size of all the
files in Word format only is about 40 Mbytes.

Just to give an idea of the update rate on the current files, here is

This is excerpted from the -updated-files file which is found in the
IMPORTANT STUFF section. This is a good way to find out which files that
you might be interested in have been updated. There are some web services
that can be set up to automatically alert those who want when certain
sections of you webpages have been changed. I have not implemented any
of these yet, but may do do in the future, especailly if there is interest.

I'm always looking for new articles or collections of messages from
other newsgroups and maillists. I can barely keep up with the few that
I am on.
