Dear Friends, > >My apologies for the long delay.

The PDFs are thus large, 11, 16, and 18 Mb for volumes 1, >2, and 3. The Table of Contents is in Volume 1. The index is in Volume 3. You >will notice that for most items in the index, the given page > numbers are 2 pages larger than the actual page number. This was because of a > last minute correction when there was not enough time to renumber the index > and have the proceedings printed in time for the Congress > >The above address is the direct address to the proceedings. This is a part of >the KIP that is being redesigned and tested. The main address for the KIP is >www.karstportal. org. You can use the keyword search in the upper right corner >to find information. The keyword can be a cave name, author name, or other >information that may be in the reports you want. However, the proceedings PDFs >have not yet been indexed for the search system and so you will not yet find >them that way. The KIP team is working to index all of the papers, but also to >divide the three PDFs into individual files, one for each paper.

I will notify you as soon as the > indexing is complete and the individual papers are posted. > >George > >George Veni, Ph.D. >Chairman, 15th International Congress of Speleology >Vice President of Administration, International Union of Speleology >Executive Director, U.S. National Cave and Karst Research Institute > __,_._,___ _______________________________________________ NMCAVER mailing list [email protected] http://caver.net/mailman/listinfo/nmcaver_caver.net
