Dear All,

I am very pleased to be able to report that sales of the undernoted

supplies will continue to be available for the forseeable future.
Apologies if you have already seen the announcement, but I am reposting
the details given the changes in the form/readership of GIS-L since Jan.

PS There should be a review in the IJGIS fairly soon if you want an
independent opinion!
