Actually I'm sure many of us contributed (I sent in a number of items that
Al scanned including the files on Signature analysis and a couple of other
test equipment manuals) Still he organized and maintained it. This, as far
as I'm concerned, it would only be with his permission - as the editor if
nothing else - that others offer his Spies (compiled/organized) site on CD.

Obviously the individual files that were not scanned by Al can be hosted
anywhere without anyone's permission but the copyright holder (or the
scanner?).
