Hi Paul,

I got phone calls at home, and both Dag Spicer and John Toole were contacted
about this situation. Having been very involved in that community in a
previous life John and Dag asked if I could carry the ball and help us
understand the situation.

I've since talked with Denys Beauchemin who is on Interex's BoD. We've asked
them to look at what they have, and then talk to us about what might be of
interest. Right now they are trying to sort out whats going to happen to all
parts of the organization, but we're on their To-Do list.

A sad state of affairs for Interex and the HP computing community. :-(

Regards,

Lee Courtney

and Interex's home page says "we have found it financially necessary to
close the doors at Interex":

This seems like a state of affairs warranting quick action by CHM to
make sure archival information is not lost.
