This issue is convoluted at best.
Just, for the record, and knowing (now) that Mark has only been in this arena a relatively short time, I do want to thank Mark for his open and candid responses, and that he (at least) has tried to do something about this long standing issue. I really don't have an issue with IBM either. It has just floored me to find out that they have uncharacteristically left a problem - and a very visual one at that - remain without resolution for such an extended period of time. Thanks. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
