Just for fun I assembled a sample web page containing the information from
Ms. Douglass/Mr. hicok. You can see it at
<http://www.patents.com/piug.sht>, which is presently an unlisted page -- no
one except PIUG people know the address. As you view it, please keep a few
things in mind:

1. I didn't ask Ms. Douglass/Mr. hicok for permission. If you have any
objection, please let me know and I will delete the sample page.

2. It is rough -- I just banged it out in a hurry.

3. I managed to find links for two of the books -- you can click on the
title and find out more about it.

4. I don't mean, by my actions in setting up this page, to somehow usurp
the idea of a PIUG web site to our www.patents.com site. I only have in
mind continuing with putting things into www.patents.com/piug.sht if people
want me to do so. And of course I won't mind at all if the PIUG web site
finds its home elsewhere.
