Dear Colleagues,

Find on http://www.kb.nl/infolev/liber/articles/smits6.html the Report
on the 'Inquiry into ma-use and user-habits in Europe', 1987-1988.

Though the inquiry is dated, some of the questions and conclusions are
still valid, I think. I should have done it earlier, but time was not on
my side. Especially the table, filling 1,500 cells with figures, took me
quite some time to produce. Still I hope you have fun with it.

With kind regards,

Jan Smits
