So this most excellent news is due to your doing? This is a remarkable 
achievement.

The MIMS annual is really all we want, since the prescribing info (strengths, 
package sizes, generic and brand names, ATC codes, subsidy and pricing info) 
is fully contained in the freely available and regularly updated PBS data 
set.

I believe we should integrate a "one-click order form" in the "About" box of 
our MIMS drugref adapter as a thanks to that company, so that those users who 
are happy with the sample can order subscribe to the current version.
