     Michael Mahon emailed some suggestions for getting better compactness and
a sample; so, the 12 pages of scans from Issue 90 and 91 proofs are now
16-level GIF files with a single-color background. That saves quite a bit of
space-- around 200k per file. Text quality remains good and graphics on the
pages are unaffected vis-a-vis the the 16-level jpegs. Plus, GIFs are easier to
handle for anyone viewing the files on an Apple II.

     The 6 scanned pages for issues 90 and 91 are now available from GSWV
individually as well as grouped by issue in .zip form.
