Yes, Thank you. I'd forgotten about this site. Last year when this came 
up, I checked there and found that the Florilegium, at least, was not 
well covered. :-( But it could be a useful tool.

Thank you for the idea of emailing the page. There are programs that 
will save the complete webpage including the graphics, but I don't have 
one.

Unfortunately, when I just went to this site all I could find of the 
olives article was the first page. When I tried to get the next three 
pages they didn't exist. Sharon, or anyone else, can you email me what 
you did get from the site?

I've also tried some web searches looking for the author. I got some 
hits, but the sites weren't there or didn't include the author's 
contact info. I'd like to see if I can get permission to use the 
article in the Florilegium, or if he no longer owns the copyright 
whether he would be willing to write another. I can't pay for articles, 
so he may not be interested, but I can ask.

I haven't had a problem simply highlighting the URL, copying and 
pasting into my browser. But I'm on a Mac and using Safari, or if I 
have to, Netscape.
