[HANASHIR:11887] Re: Sim Shalom

[ekomar <ekomar...>]

Adrian,

My apologies to you if you were offended by this posting, and to Meir.
Actually, I inadvertantly sent it to all of hanashir when I really meant to
send it to just Ellen. As a respectful user of this listserv and a composer
with my copyrighted music, I wouldn't intentionally violate copyright law or
hanashir policy. All I was trying to do was help out a colleague.

Incidentally, I am not sure why even your computer, Adrian, had trouble
printing out the TIFF-inside-Word doc. I have both sent and received this
type of file dozens of times and no parties have had any trouble downloading
or printing. Not having Adobe Distiller on my system, this has been the only
viable way for me to send music files to people who don't have Finale.

Given Adrian's admonishment, for those of you who have informed me that you
have been unsuccessful in downloading or printing this file, guess it will
have to stay that way ...

B'shirah,
- Eric
