Hi Matt! Good question. I was working for the government entering data on pen and paper forms, from other pen and paper forms, in the early 70s. For all I know, the data is still on pen and paper. We *thought* it was going to be put into some sort of electronic format, but perhaps it wasn't. Maybe we were just hand copying from one paper to another. -- Regards, Pete http://pete-theisen.com/ http://elect-pete-theisen.com/ _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
