Vern -
  I appreciate all your efforts.  Don and I traded floppies back
and forth several times in the 90's, and I know that I only ever
saw a tiny segment of all that he had archived.  I wish I could offer
you good advice but I have seen large academic and corporate
archives disappear when a division is eliminated or folded into
another entity, and all efforts of those who were truly interested
came to naught.  I hope, that because this is only a single person
who has to be convinced, that your work efforts do pay off.  Good
luck!
Tim.
