New Guide to Chodosh available by E mail

[Y. Herman]

CHODOSH BULLETIN 3 DEC 02

The second issue of the Guide to Chodosh had been completed and was sent 
today to the printer. We expect the hard copies of the Guide to be mailed 
to the local distributors and individual subscribers sometime next week.
Meanwhile, you can request a copy of the new Guide by E mail. As in the 
past, you can get an unformatted ASCII copy of the Guide by following the 
instructions detailed below. Those interested in General Mills and Quaker 
cereals should also request the two tables that are not in the unformatted 
Guide, as shown below.
Now, for the first time, we are offering on an experimental basis a 
formatted version of the Guide by E mail, in the PDF format. This file can 
only be read if you have the free Acrobat reader (available from 
www.adobe.com/acrobat.) This preserves most of the format of the full, 
printed Guide. The page layout is slightly altered, so that the table of 
contents and the index may be off by 1-2 pages. This version is also 
available to you free of charge on the condition that if you print it out 
it should be for your own use only, that you do not distribute it to 
others. To request this send an E mail to yherman at earthlink.net and request 
the "PDF version of the Guide". The file that you will get is large, about 
304 KB in size. Make sure that your E mail system allows such large 
attachments to received mail messages.
