Re: AGM awards

I would think they could use my part of the tax dollars to publish it in plain old ASCII. The last book I wrote for the "gummit" [as Reagan pronounced it] was deliverable in ASCHII.

platforms.

I have compiled an 80+ page book for sale at our MG plant sales. Books are
expensive to print, but a CD is cheap. I changed the format of my book from
.wpd to .pdf to put on the CD so anyone can use it.

Lest you mistake my meaning, Jim, I do agree with you. They are a pain. But
they have the prerogative to use their preferred format.

No... but isn't PDF a pain in the touche? Why these bloated files are
preferred by, among others, government agencies, is beyond me.

Does anyone know where I can find a list of all or most of the plants

have won the RHS Award of Garden Merit (AGM)?   I can get them at the

just
like to copy and paste into my own format; could then possibly get it
down
to 15 or 20 pages.
