I just scanned through Volume 11, numbers 1,2,3,4 which supposedly
cover the months of Feb to December in 1990, and there is no sign
of this report.
My Volume 12 is currently incomplete so I don't know what happened
there, but I do not recall a detailed account balance.

It seems that the figues were available, the footnote in the latest AUUG
says that it is too long to include in the wafer thin AUUGN.

<Yes, this sort of information is shown in the reconciliations.

<ourselves!

Where will I see it, I can't find it in any AUUGN (care to cite a reference),
and apparently posting the info to the net is next to impossible because
the data is stored on a computer. I believe I will be receiving a FAX of
it soon though.
