      I have just 1,2..3 questins concerning those videotapes :-)

      1 - are they all NTCS and is PAL version obtainable
      2 - what is additional charge for Europe Air Mail delivery
      3 - do you accept payment by bank-transfer (i.e. directly
          to your bank-account)

Unfortunately, I have no facilities to convert these NTSC tapes to PAL
format. Graham Fraser in Australia did this for the Chicago conference tapes
and it cost him hundreds of dollars. (I have seriously thought about taping
future events in both NTSC and PAL, if it was possible. The other solution
would be to get one of those "world-standard" VCR's which allow format
changes, if I could only afford the 1500 to 2000 dollars.)

The overseas airmail costs are not prohibitive (10 to 20 bucks) as compared
to the rates I heard for converting between formats (something like 10 to 20
bucks per hour of source material. My source material is up to 24 hours now.)

If any kind souls out there can help in format conversion, I would be
extremely appreciative. (You get to keep the NTSC copy, of course.)

      A friend of mine is in final phase of construction of a NTSC/PAL
converter so in a next 2-4 weeks I'm going to try a conversion of some
3 tapes with a lot fractal images and if I succeed i'll let you
know.
