Hello all -

This is basically in reply to Peter's query:

> 	I'd be very grateful for the following basic resources:

There really isn't anything *new* in terms of dictionaries since the "review"
version of the mm dictionary was posted at the IUCr and Columbia some months ago.
I have (as per our agreement in Brussels) merged the current core and mm
dictionaries, but I am awaiting the final (what an optomist!) DDL before
implementing any real changes.  I will post a new version as soon as I have
them, but for right now I find myself in the very unusual position of waiting
on other people rather than having them wait on me.

As for example files, Rutgers is probably the best source for onces that have
not previously been circulated.

Be well - Paula
