[ Editor's note:

[ The Web Page referenced in the URL belongs to Michael Waters
[ of Australia. The contents of his "manufacturer's list" is
[ attributed to you (Larry) and is still "an old list". I'm sure
[ he'd be happy to post the "current" list. I don't have any problem
[ with the list from "this group" showing up there, but I'd
[ appreciate it if the appropriate acknowledgement(s) are
[ given. I think the major original contributors were Larry and
[ Robbie, but there's been otthers too. Michael Waters already
[ has a pointer to the "subscription" address for this group;
[ we've had one new member via this pointer in the last week! Thanks
[ Michael.
