While we apprciate your attempts to salvage a dieing newsgroup, I don't think Cross Porting to our group is worth your time.

Do you think you could find a different newsgroup that would be closer to your topic? BITNET: JTRIM@DUCAIR UUCP: { ncar, isis, onecom }udenva!jtrim INET: jtrim@udenva.cair.du.edu
