I have down loaded these files and about to put them through our validation
process. As soon as they are validated I will up load them and inform Donna
Smillie. She will add all the information to the database, which will then
be used to generate the checkdoc1.html and checkdoc2.html pages. This will
be done in the next 48 -72hours.

This is a point I have been strugeling with. I think that you should correct
the obvious errors, and document the corrections. because I believe this is
an important point I am cc'ing this letter to the list. I hope you don't
mind. If you wish to submit the corrected files , I will substitute them.

Thanks for your effort!
