[urq] RE : New (to me) UrQ owner and couple questions

Tue Oct 24 11:31:14 EDT 2006

Hello Louis-Alain!

Thank you very much for the attachment of the PDF documents, this will be
VERY helpful indeed and I can integrate this information into the database!
I appreciate your enthusiasm and eagerness to assist me in this project.

I will go through these items after I extract them from the documents and I
will correlate them to the proper items so this information will appear
alongside the ETKA information.
