Thanks to all of the participants of these newsgroups, the "OSI
Anthology" has been growing.  

My special thanks are to all of the enthusiasts who sent me direct mail.
I used "r" in mailx to respond, and most of my replies bounced!  So,
please accept my thanks over the .net; and keep the information
(additions, updates, corrections, etc.) flowing in.

Following is an updated list.  The new additions have been
identified on the RIGHT MARGIN with "|".

             the color of their cover.  (1984-Red; 1980-Yellow         |
