It may take a little while to collate our material and it's important to get
it reasonably comprehensive and accurate. We, for example, could - and
should - contribute several of our programs (especially OSCAR and OPSIN)
besides the original JUMBO.

I imagine the print costs could be absorbed somewhere - but we would have to
get started fairly soon. When you talk about "card" is this a real card or
a PDF that can be printed on A4? Real card will cost more
