[Simh] 404 errors trying to access the DTJ archives on your web site

[Villy Madsen]

Ah So!!  Thanks for the explanation Colin

HP has of course published on the net most of the DJT journals.  They are 
unfortunately missing the first 3 volumes - which for us old codgers are 
probably some of  the more interesting ones...

It would be nice to have them available on the WEB.  OTOH $US10 & shipping 
will not break the bank.
