Well, oops, yeah, sorry about that. 8->

Actually there wasn't an official announcement. I'm building it and have
had some questions that info on the page would answer so have directed
people to the page. There is a moby amount more to go on and I am a slow
typist who tends to say:"Yeah, I can do that," until my promises back me
into a corner and time is running out. I then screech: "How am I ever going
to do that!" and its another all-nighter. (Well, past my bedtime at least,
fogies don't do real all-nighters!)

At any rate, consider this breaking a bottle of bubbly over the bow of the
HIPS web page at: http://tricities.net/~mikelowe/

I hope to put Cornell Bulletin 112 on the site complete with modern photos
where I have them. (And, where I am 95% sure of ID, some horrible croppers
drop out even a decade after working intensively with the living material.)
I will augment with A.W.W. Sand's unpublished MS and Memoir 100 in the
instances where 112 ignores significant cultivars. (Hey, if the break-away
Dead Sea Scrolls researchers can do it why not HIPS?)

Anyway, lots to come, be patient and check in every now and then for new stuff.
