Dear Friends Who Have SGML Documents,

This is a solicitation for donations of parsable materials.  As you
know, we are bringing MarkMinder out in March, and we have been
counting on Exoterica's long awaited SGML document test suite being
available last month (December 1992) to validate its functionality.

Exoterica negotiated our check in December but now they say there will
be no deliveries of the test suite on CD-ROM until second quarter at
the earliest, because they keep finding more things to put in it.
This is both good (because it will be even better) and bad (because it
will be too late to affect MarkMinder 1.0) for us, but the bottom line
is we won't have the "Compleat Test Suite" in time to validate our
product before its March rollout.

If you have any SGML documents you'd be willing to share with us just
for the fun of making sure that MarkMinder can parse them, we'll
gladly accept them.  The easiest way is for you to put them into some
ftp'able file someplace and then tell us where to find them and how to
log in (don't send passwords through the e-mail, though, please!).  We
can also accept 8mm tape cassettes, 1/4 inch QIC 150 tape cartridges,
and of course DOS format diskettes of all descriptions and vintages.
E-mail might also work; we have received files of up to 100k
successfully.  (I don't know what the limit is on e-mail, but I think
it's pretty high, at least on our end.)

Thanks!
