upwards. Those print-outs will be introduced for all registered companies over the next two months. Apart from general efficiency, the print-outs have the advantage that information is, of course, recorded on them before being placed on the file. Details of directors and secretary are available on print-out for companies with a registered number from 111,267 upwards. Some users of the Office looking for files have been seeking the assistance of paper-keeper staff directly rather than making an application in the proper way. While there are difficulties in making searches, these should be alleviated by the computerization program but can only be aggravated if paper-keepers are diverted from their assigned duties of sorting and putting away files. I have, therefore, instructed paper-keepers to refuse any such requests in the future. Every effort is being made to provide an effective service to the public. Maximum benefit is only possible, however, if full use is made of the new services where appropriate. I would appreciate it if you would inform your members of the current measures being introduced and discourage inappropriate practices of the type mentioned. Yours sincerely, Paul Farrell, Manager, Companies Registration Office, Dublin Castle, Dublin 2.

Dear Sir, I read with great interest Timothy Allen's article in the March issue of the Gazette on the Role of the Modern Document Examiner. I would, however, like to add to one point that he makes about identification of typescript. He says that 'the re-insertion of an original d o c u m e n t . . . . results in failure to obtain correct alighment'. While this is generally true of traditional machines, with some modern electric machines, particularly word processors, it is possible to re-insert so exactly that no method, however accurate, can detect the difference as I was able to demonstrate in a recent High Court case over here. Yours sincerely, M. Ansell, Document Examiner. 98 The Broadway, Heme Bay, Kent CT6 8EY, England.
