I agree, its not really necessary to protect the catalogue, just the
prices.  However, the two UK supply houses will not allow us to put the
catalogues on the net,  without some form of protection from the great
unwashed.  Both supply houses have a policy of not supplying jo public
with any information whatsoever. I do not know what the policy is in the
USA regarding supply houses.

Herrberger Brooks, on the other hand have no objections to the general
public seeing their catalogue or trade prices.  As they are quite happy
to supply the general public, but at much inflated prices.

As for a password it won't be anything elaborate, just a simple group
password.  Which will be changed periodically because I believe if the
jo public is really determined there's always one tuner who would give
out his or hers password.

Kind regards,

Barrie
