It seems as though the sender's address is not accessable from BITNET or that there is an error somewhere either in my sending or in their receiving. In any case the message was posted without a signature. The sender gave only their initials! Therefore, even though I would like to respond to their question and may even have some very useful information for them I cannot. The subject of Net-etiquette was a recent topic of discussion on Bionet. Perhaps it should be re-emphasized that persons posting messages should include a *proper* signature. Therefore if someone is unable to respond via the network or E-mail they can then resort (God, forbid) to the U.S. Postal Service or to th telephone. ================================================ Melissa Melan (MELAN@WFEB2):BITNET Worcester Foundation for Experimental Biology 222 Maple Avenue Shrewsbury, MA 01545
