I'll see if I can get a copy and try to find time to read it and post an
abstract along with a review, along with some of the other documents.

If you could supply your best information as to where it's located I can try
and get down there and retrieve and then post it publicly. E-mail to
despammed return address is fine [to avoid further clutter in this newsgroup,
although from a percentage point of view I would say that it's irrelevant].
Assume that I know nothing about retrieving documents from these archives as
that is something that I have not done previously. So a "finding documents in
the archives for dummies" response is most likely needed.
