Accomplishments of September 2005
- The worldlist is Dari
(Afghan Farsi) (pdf) was added by Paul Pajo.
- For the second time in six months our forum has been vandalized. We
were not singled out; many other's were hit too. After the first time, we
moved to a new hosting service at significant time and expense because the
first was unable to restore the forum. The second host seems equally
incompetent. The forum is likely at an end.

Phonetic Basic Reader by A. Lloyd James -- a few pages of many works. - complete

Accomplishments
of June 2005
- Non-Accomplishements -- our E-mail went down again. E-mail from
June5?-June12 were lost this time. Please resend.
Our
web host was sold. The new people foolishly set "email:fail" in April and
set "email:0" in June. We have signed with a new host and moved the
Institute June 19. You should see no difference except that things will
work again. Except the Forum history and membership list was lost. .
