Oh Roger, why are you doing this to me -- now I'm going to have to go dig
up that file. But rest assured, the name Cordier mentioned as name of the
process was *Mariage* -- I wrote it down at the time. I'd heard the name
"Namias" previously, and would have recognized it in this context, which I
didn't because it wasn't. I believe, however, that one of the tattered
photo copies in the file, from some print source or other, is titled
"Mariage."
OK, OK... meanwhile, the lack of a single word of feedback about Kwikprint
I take to mean lack of interest? (Or for the English speaking persons on
this list: "Meanwhile, I take the lack of a single word of feedback about
Kwikprint to mean lack of interest.")
