[Radiance-general] Bit-rot on RadSite

[Greg Ward]

Hi Randolph,

I just got your earlier e-mail, which you sent to my greg at anyhere.com  
account.  I'm not checking that account regularly, as the server  
seems to have been claimed by a spambot and 99% of the e-mails on  
there are now viagra offers.

The paper is fortunately archived on the RwR CD-ROM, and I'm  
converting it to PDF for the website.  I'll let you know when it's  
ready.

Cheers,
-Greg
