[DCRM-L] FW: 2007 Issue 2 of Cataloger's Desktop available

[Elizabeth Robinson]

Okay, here is what Bruce Johnson had to say to Bob's
question about access to superceded Desktop files:

>>> Bruce C Johnson 5/3/2007 12:41:12 PM >>>
Elizabeth:

Bob's question is really good. The short answer is
really not much. I can access all of the versions of
the files that were distributed on CD but have not
made a systematic attempt to archive the more recent
files. That said, we have no plans to make older
versions of documentation available for a variety of
reasons. We might consider making something available
to an individual subscriber but I'm not prepared to
make a global commitment to that. If someone has a
specific need to access something that has since been
superceded they can contact me directly and we'll see
what we can do.
