(1) PLEASE make a FORWARD of this mail to your friends in countries for which
no IRC price is given here.

(2) Please mail prices of International Reply Coupons (IRCs) of other
countries and corrections to me at:  europesurf@xxxxxxx

I guess that prices in Venezuela, China, Egypt, Jamaica, Dominican Rep.
Philippines e.g. could be even 
cheaper than Grenada! So these prices and other cheap prices are most
welcome.
I WILL COMPILE ANOTHER UPDATE of this list after ENOUGH INFORMATION WILL HAVE
BEEN RECEIVED.
I wish to thank everybody who has already contributed to this list!
(3) Any comments or ideas on getting more prices are also most welcome.
         Of superior interest are email addresses of other dx lists, where
this request could be posted!
