Lost Messages?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Here is a warning to all recent posters.  I recently said that you
shouldn't think your messages didn't get through just because you got
a bounce message.  Well, recently I goofed up with the list of
subscribers in a way that I think means that your messages really got
lost, so if you sent something after that message of mine and it's not
in this list of recent postings it didn't get through -- please resend
it!

News at the ftp archive (ftp.lysator.liu.se:pub/comics/disney)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I have now created a new subdirectory "characters" for lists and
descriptions of Disney characters.  I put Rich Bellacera's list of
recurring characters there and the first "HOOZOO" file as well as a
new version (2.0b) of the "International Disney Comic Character Names"
that I got from Fredrik Ekman.

Life of Scrooge

The Life of Scrooge section in the Don Rosa index at the ftp archive
now (I just updated it!) says (slightly reformatted as the American
and Dutch columns were all whitespace anyway):

Of course I'd be happy if Don would supply us with some more info.

Well, I did. :-)
