Hello
I have quite a lot of information about "Les Epreuves d'Ecritures". I will
be preparing a post about it in few days. I may have some articles, some
info in computer memory that I have OCRed from the printed pages I have
copied at the Beaubourg, but I am not sure if I could send all of this
because of Copyright laws. Anyone has any idea about this legislation
regarding electornic dissemination through discussion lists ?
"Les Epreuves d'Ecritures" happened in 1985 ten years before the Web. I do
not remember now if it was in Minitel. More soon.
