Here is a list I've compiled from various sources (Jim F for one).  The
formatting is lost by copying it - I have it in a MS Word doc and I can send
it out.  Joe, you might want to add or compare this to what you have and
perhaps send me what you have.  A single list could be generated and
distributed.
