Will old copies of Physical Review Letters be archived as well, or will it
just be issues from 1995 on? Do you plan on making this available under a
search engine like WAIS? I see that Encyclopedia Britannica has chosen
HTML format for making there information available, along with WAIS
service. Do you envisage something similar?
