Rick may be correct, however, this would not prevent the master copy
been transferred to the new system and made available immediately there
was a demand. The real issue is the gathering of the information and
programming the package so that the user's needs were met in a simple
and effective way.
I would be interested in cooperating in the production of a species
CD-ROM and wonder whether it could not be a first project for a World
Iris Association or for SIGNA. [Although, I understand from the
President that he does not wish to see SIGNA do too much]. What
happened at the BIS and AIS meetings on the WIA. Can we have some
feedback?
