This is entirely consistent with the information we received, weeks ago,
from SoftQuad.  Our Finding Aids Administrator is following up, just to be
sure.  But when we asked SQ about this point, prior to bringing up the Yale
EAD site (http:\\webtext.library.yale.edu), they assured us that repeated
downloads would be permitted. When they originally planned for its release,
however, this was not the case.  That (now obsolete) policy probably
accounts for the problem Duke reported earlier this week.
