Sorry to need to have this spelled out for me. Does this mean universities
can cancel their subscription to Dyabola and rely exclusively on the web
version? Are their bandwith issues or other things to consider before
canceling? I'm reminded of Peter's recent message about another source,
"has anyone examined the differences before each of us makes a deacession
error?"
Thanks, Barbara, for letting us know about this.
