A Web search through Yahoo and Excite has revealed the Polish URL
http://www.complex.com.pl/~venom/science.html as a new repository
of the five public-domain documents chronicling Project Mentifex.
(Thank you -- from a Polish-Czech-German-Irish mentifex@scn.org.)

http://www.newciv.org/Mentifex/ -- the original Web source of the
three theory documents and the two journal articles -- was loaned
suddenly to Project Mentifex on 6.NOV.1995 by the courtesy of the
group "Designing and Building New Civilizations" and could chance
to go off-line at any time for any number of reasons.   Therefore
this Usenet article inter alia alerts people to the second source
of the archival Mentifex materials, and spreads the Meme of Mind:
