    <pre> Dear Guenter:

    I've been in contact with Andrew Stawowczyk Long about writing an article for the journal "Microform & Imaging Review". As he has already committed to writing an article for you on color management, he suggested using the same article for MIR. As we often re-print materials from other sources, I would have no problem running the article as a reprint from SPECTRA.

    Would this be possible? If not, I understand, and Andrew seems agreeable to writting on another topic at a later date - however, I'm anxious to get something on the topic in MIR.

    Thanks, Steve
