ASCE 7-05 compared to earlier 7's

(OP)
Anyone have any online references to documents that compare the ASCE 7-05 with earlier versions, preferrably 7-98?

Sorry - I guess I'm actually after wind provisions.  Forgot to mention that.

The gostructural site has run a number of articles, starting about 1-1/2 years ago,that covers changes from the 97 UBC to the 2000, 2003 & 2006 IBC. The articles cover wind seismic and other stuff.
The major change in the wind load section is that Method 1 now includes topo affects. The bad news is that Method 2 is still a pain in the hind end.
Good luck !
