    That sounds awful. I can only assume the lost the master copy of the manuscript docuements and there are no replacements or back-ups? That must be so frustrating after putting so much sweat, effort and knowlege into it.

    Nope. Got the manuscript on disc., It's the original photos taken during the trials, the men involved, documents from the archives etc etc. Frustrating is one of the words I have mentioned......

    the thought of all that original information lost gives the shivers. they had better extract the digit and find it.
