RE: thesaurus standards

Thanks Sue. Yes, by making the revised American standard available over
the Internet, they have pipped BSI at the post. It will be at least the
end of November before BSI issues BS8723 Parts 1 and 2, Furthermore, BSI
will *never* part with a copy without extracting a large payment.
Sighingly,
Stella

Stella's probably seen this, but I thought there might be some who
haven't.
