Here is the latest READ.ME file I received from Kevin Mayeshiro about the Archive which was established by Kevin c. May 1993 - so it is very new. The "maintainer" does not have much spare time to service the Archive - so you have to be grateful for what it offers and tolerate any imperfections - after all it's FREE :-) = - = - = - = - = - = - = - = - = - = - = - = - = - = - = - = - = - = - = - = last update: 14 May 1993 Welcome to the rec.kites archive!
