This is my Florilegium article for May 2020.

 

Over the past twenty-nine years in an ongoing effort, I have been collecting bits of useful information from various newsgroups, mail lists, facebook groups, and articles whose authors have given me permission to publish. In order to make this information available to others, I have placed this information in a collection of files called Stefan's Florilegium.

 

The Florilegium is on the web at: http://www.florilegium.org

 

I am always interested in new articles.

 

If you want a different way to look for a particular subject, I have now updated and uploaded a recent master file list of all files to the site. A link to this file should be available in most sections.

 

If you find a bad link or a missing file, please let me know. I can't fix what I don't know about.

 

I've added a new section RESEARCH-AND-DOCUMENTATION. I have moved some files there and added "Frm-Photo-Itm-art" mentioned below. If you have written an article on this subject, I would love to add it.
