So easy to do. Scan the index, insert into a excel file, and sort on
hydridizer name with intro date as a secondary index (or name for an
alphebetical list).

In fact it will probably be the first thing I do, because I want it too. That
part is not illegal. Giving it away free to anyone else would be.

Of course it is just this sort of process that I think frightens AIS. The
copyright issue is a significant one but mostly from the point of view that
the electronic version is much easier to copy than a 100 page book. Makes it
much easier for AIS to lose revenue.
