RE: Tony's List (A bit O.T.)

[Julian Robinson <julian@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have not been following every message so may have missed someone else 
posting this, but here is a copy of one of Tony's own posts on his list 
that seems to answer the original question and some of the conjecture...

2 Feb 02
"A web archives for this list may be found at :-
http://www.mail-archive.com/filmscanners@halftone.co.uk
The 'unofficial' archive at http://phi.res.cse.dmu.ac.uk/Filmscan/ (which
went back a bit further) appears to no longer be maintained.
Regards
Tony Sleep"
