I believe there have been some changes to the Gregory numbers under 
Aland's administration of them, and therefore would not utilize Gregory 
directly.  The K.Liste is still the best source overall.

I was not so pessimistic on this point, since the conversion list is a 
simple table of factual data, with no originality concerned, and in this 
country, under the Supreme Court's "Feist" decision, facts remain 
non-protected by copyright.  Thus, I would hope that Muenster would 
kindly provide the conversion list for use by the scholars who frequent 
this list.  Otherwise, the list can be compiled (and if one worries about 
it, the antiquated and now public domain Gregory list can be made the 
basis, with corrections added in parentheses).
