NINCH ANNOUNCEMENT
October 30, 1997



                     "THE RACE TO SAVE 100 YEARS"


Perhaps marginally off-topic, but reflecting my interest in the
preservation of moving images as prelude and parcel of networking them,
here is an announcement from Steve Leggett at the Library of Congress of a
new film on film preservation.
