Thanks Neil, look forward to hearing what you have to say.
Thanks Andrew for alerting me to this problem. I would like to receive
the TNAUK daisy files, as I have found a package which is up my street
so to speak. However, I do wish to read it on the go, so hope this can
be resolved.
Thanks again to both of you.
Sharon

Hi Andrew - and Sharon -
I will come back to you on this - apologies for the delay, my interest
and
responsibility is for the etext side of the TNAUK operation.I have some
questions for Andrew, but will ask off-list as they are not of general
interest - but if anyone else on this list has experienced problems with
TNAUK Daisy files (or any others) please come back to me.
Best,
Neil.
Best,
Neil.
