Don,

	Tables of Contents from several Journals are already being
distributed on BIO-JOURNALS and it would not be a tremendous problem
to add abstracts.  I have in fact explored putting up abstracts with
several publishers so far, but the answer that I got was that it was
more expense than they were willing to absorb.

	I would be happy to add the TOC and abstracts if available to
the BIO-JOURNALS distribution.  The matter of archiving the rest of
the text I would leave up to you.  I will send you the format
guidelines for BIO-JOURNALS by separate mail.
