Sorry about that - the mailer inserted a few carriage returns and
messed up the indentations. Here's a clean copy.

BTW, I forgot to mention - these sets run 50 minutes - you *need*
100-minute tapes. If you send 90's down the line, a lot of people will
be very upset. I hear tell you can order them in bulk from Terrapin
tapes. Lower leaves, maybe you can deal with parents to just pay their
costs for a blank.

Over 90% wanted Maxell II or IIs. This seems to be the tapers' industry
standard. I'd suggest upper branches stick to IIs and if you're bulk
ordering for leaves go with II or IIS as well.

I'm off to the fiance's - mail will be forwarded however. Have fun.

Well, here's the complete tree, below.
Notes:

(1) You'll neeed a wide display to show this properly. I'll send out
sub-trees when I get the energy. 
Sorry about the not entirely consistent indentation.
(2) If you asked to be on it, have a confirmation from me, and aren't
here, please get back to me.
(3) I have alternate addresses and phones. If you can't reach your
parent, don't let the tree stall - get back to me and I'll try to hunt
them up.
(4) If a bunch of people below you (and maybe you) have DB with their
names (not including leaves - I didn't mark them) you're running a
Dolby B branch. Similarly for the one Dolby C branch. Everybody below
Jim V is Dolby B *except* Tom L and those under him, who are Dolby C.
(Jim, please note) The Nak branch has several Dolby B sub-branches and
some non-Dolby branches - please check children's preferences before
recording.
 (Dolby B *are* all together, at least as they told me.)
If the people below you say dat, send DAT. Otherwise it's analog. I
tried to spread the analog as wide as possible to keep up a high
quality.
(5) The other notes with your names are just number of copies, nak,
dat, etc. for my reference. Ignore them. I'm too tired after sorting
them all out, and it's too much  bother to erase what I just put in.
(6) for people new on trees it works this way:
The person above you and *one* indentation left is your "parent".
He/she/it will send you a tape. The people below you and *one*
indentation right are your "children". You will copy the tape and send
it to them.

EX:          AAAAAAAAAAAAA
                  BBBBBBBBBBBBBBB
                       CCCCCCCCCCCCCCC
                               DDDDDDDDDDDDD
                               EEEEEEEEEEEEE
                       FFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
                                GGGGGGGGGGGGG
                  HHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
                        JJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJ
                        KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK
             LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
                   MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

A sends tapes to B and H. B sends tapes to C and F. C sends tapes to D
and E. And so on.
Note that M has nothing to do with A's branch, belonging only to L; F
communicates only with B (parent) and G (child).
(7) You work out the trades among yourselves.
(8) If any real problems occur, mail me. I'll be out of town for four
days but serious problems may be forwarded.
(9) Placement on the tree was by (a) highest quality recording
equipment, (b) Dolby preferences, (c) random sampling.
If you think I goofed on recording quality, please tell me. 
If you just don't like it, run the next one yourself.

Have fun

Vic
