I'm interested but time and distance are conspiring against me.  Maybe
Phil Hall can chime in with the number of requests he got for his 'MI
Bundle'.  I got one, read it at my leisure and got ALOT of very good
info from it.  

I think there are plenty of people who are interested but don't have
the time or money to travel. A web site with this info would be greatly
appreciated.  heck, just a web archive of this newgroup would be great.

For me, MI is just a means to an end.  I needed a fast hash algorithm
and a web and Deja search pointed me to the CIPHER instruction.  I
don't have a 'C' compiler and was really just looking for a small MI
pgm to take about 1K of data and return its hash value.  The point is,
while all the MI stuff on this newsgroup is fascinating to me and i
will continue to subscribe, all I really wanted was problem solved. 
There is NOTHING (barring Phil's stuff) that gives you a leg up on MI
(tutorial).  The interest is there if the delivery mechanism is
different.

Just my $.02

Jay
