Re:Electronic Check list

I agree that we should pay for the electronic checklist, for all the 
work that has gone into it.  I have sent for the '99 ten-year printed 
list, but what I use the iris register for most is to track progeny 
from the cvs I'm interested in.  If you enter its name, you get not 
only that cv itself, but everything that names it in parentage.  
Invaluable in planning hybridizing goals.
