Since there are new people joining the list/group every day[1], it's probably a good idea every so often to cover some of the antique terminology that can creep into these posts.

Those were the days! Also, for those not familiar with IBM geographical abbreviations, "gburg" = Gaithersburg.(near Washington DC, in Maryland) [1] I was responsible for encouraging one participant over the weekend so I feel responsible. <g> Chris Mason ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
