Hi, Peter (and Bill and others),
I owe you all some information, which I will get to this weekend. I
apologize - I have been out of country for work related reasons, and have
been away from my workstation, for much of the past few months. Finally, I
have returned home. Be in touch soon.

are followed. End of
