Dear Friends: As you will have/will be reading shortly, Barry Birkey has graciously volunteered to convert my files to a format accessible to most users (I would hope all) and posted the results on his web page from where they may be accessed. I have tried to send these files to all who have asked me for them, however, I may not have had time to answer all the requests. My most sincere apologies. In the end, this may be an advantage to you because Barry has done a wonderful job of converting the files and has improved the quality of the diagrams tremendously. Hence the delay may be to your benefit. Those interested (and I recommend that even those who have obtained the files previously) should visit Barry's page at : http://www.birkey.com/BLB/Beekeeping/mineraloil.html In the meantime, I'll always be available to answer questions regarding the files post or the state of my ongoing work with FGMO. Please do not hesitate to write for information or to provide me input (input is very much welcome and appreciated). Best regards. Dr. Rodriguez Virginia Beach, VA
