Thanxes muchly! I don't need the files; I downloaded them a while back, and
am now updating them phonorecord by phonorecord as I look through the
hundreds of 78's I bought from (and was sent by) "Nickjay!" When I am
finally finished (barring my unexpected demise?!) I will have a bunch of
"improved versions" of the AF...!

I can send these to you should you see fit...?!
