Hi!

Kevin sended to the list his "Black Book" update. It was too long
so I have to cut a lot of it and send only some parts to the list.
If you are interested in to receive whole list, contact Kevin. I am
sure he will send it to you.

You can find the list from ftp://ftp.funet.fi/pub/dx/text/lists/BlackBook.txt

Yours,

Risto Kotalampi
