	I received one response to this posted message from Glenn Lewis.
	Glenn stated that my mail path is incorrect.  He sucessfully reach 
	me with the following mailpath:

	ingr.com!b17b!dale@uunet.uu.net

	As I'm sure it is quite obvious by now, I'm not "up to speed"
	on this network stuff.  If you can't get a message to me via this new
	address. "Hang tight"!!! I'm talking to my systems' management folks 
	trying to get educated. My system manager said that the new one
	isn't right either.  Yet, it worked for Glenn.  Isn't life a 
	mystery ?  As I find out who and where I am I'll pass it on (such a 
	philosopher).

	Other communication avenues are:

	Intergraph
	One Madison Industrial Park
	Huntsville, Al. 35807-4201 
	Attn: Dale R. Rogers
	      Mailstop: IW17b5

		or

	Dale R. Rogers
	P.O.Box 6484
	Huntsville, Al 35824

	ph: 205-730-6712  Work 
	    205-536-3253  Home (answering machine)

	Thanks to all that have tried to get back to me. Glenn...thanks a
	bunch. The information was great.

	Replies via the newsgroup would be nice until I get the mailpath
	straightened out.

	...Dale (who am I? where am I? What is the meaning of life or at
	least network path paths?) Rogers
