There are several good ASCII-based WWW-clients available for free. Using
one of these all you need is an Internet connection. Ofcourse
you will lose the pictures, but the text is reachable. To get the pictures
you need something like a PC, MAC or workstation directly connected to
Internet with a program like Mosaic.

Agree.
I'd be happy to provide space for the text and the pictures
on "Lund University Electronic Library."

I think we should provide broadest possible access means
(eg through gopher, WWW, WAIS (searchable databse) and ftp (in addition
to the LISTSERV archive).

The pictures came out very dark on my machine?
