David & Wayne -

Well, I would guess ASCII would be what I should work on them in since
that could be read by any text editor.

Since you both have them, whichever of you could dump 'em out to an
ASCII file the easiest, I guess.

Yes, I know the edit will get old, but I get so much value in reading
the "old" list stuff, I know others can too... I think it will be worth
my time and while I'm not a "pro" at ECS coding, perhaps a way that I
can contribute something to the group here (and newcomers, too), besides
the Primer project (which will now wait 'till November for me to work
on).
