[this message has already appeared in various sci.* groups]

My question is if NASA-Langley Technical Memorandums
and Technical Papers were available in PostScript form
for anonymous ftp, would you find this desirable?

I am contemplating making them available and would like
to have some feedback to determine if such a service is waranted.

Caveat #1 - The files would be available in directories 
corresponding to the year that they were released.  An ascii
Index of titles and possibly abstracts could be provided.
Thus, searching is limited to perusing the abstract list.

Caveat #2 - Some figures in the documents might not be availiable
in electronic form.  That is, some pictures and such that are
part of the final TM/TP do not exist electronically.  I have no
idea how many papers this affects and to what extent.

If you have feelings about this service, one way or another,
please contact me.  I have set follow-ups to sci.research, but 
email would be the easiest method.  I can post the results of the
inquiry and the status of the project if it is desired.

thank you for your time,
