Hi
now that Archive has moved to electronic only, with articles that were in train at the time of the end of the print edition, plus new material being published 'here' (electronic articles linked from this site).
Could I put in a plea for the old editions of Archive to be published on their own, on a stand alone CD. I recognise this will duplicate earlier magazine CD's published in batches of two years or so at a time.
For the ease of use, and most importantly search, the whole of the magazine needs to be on one dedicated disk. It will also need the articles to be built into single files by subject, so for example the complete Belgium register would be in a single searchable file, along with all feedback for the original articles.
This would be a genuine powerful and usable resource, I for one would be quite happy to buy such a disk despite having the earlier CD's which split the material over a number of disks and files on each making them hard to search through.
The same could be said for Aeromilitaria.
Would be interested in hearing the thoughts of others and the official line on such an idea.
