Not mentioned in the original plea was how much money they're willing to
throw at it. The fact that they had their staff attempt to BUILD an 8"
drive MIGHT mean that they are willing to put something into it. Or
might just mean that they're as crazy as we are.
Other details not mention include that they might not be satisfied with
just getting the data, and might want the Lanier WP files converted all
the way into WordPervert or MsWeird files, etc.
But several of the disk format conversion houses had AES/Lanier
capability, so I don't think that there's really a problem.
