On Using This Index

Since print pages in the RDC Newsletter were not tone indexed in the audio edition, this Index shows the complete article title, separated by a semi-colon from the month and year of publication. The RDC Newsletter occasionally publishes a double issue: the combined June/July issue for 1985 is shown as 6-7/85. Single back issues are available for $2 each--please specify audio cassette or print. The RDC Newsletter began large print editions with the October 1985 issue. This index is available in braille, large print, and as DOS 3.3 data files on disk.
