[Papyrus-L] Papyrus -Windows support group?

[Bicknell, David]

In that case, let's get some feedback from Dave at RSD to the suggestion,
and then work out how to coordinate such a group. It seems Papyrus has a
large and positive support base (Friends of Papyrus! FOPs?) that is not
entirely due to past investment in the software and data.

If my financial support (via Government Project money) is to be worth
anything, it better happen before the Australian dollar drops any further!

Dave B
