It seems like I read 15 to 25 messages a day and get one or two new pieces of information. I think that it would be very helpful if someone who writes to this group often would include a line in their .sig that says "Email me for Answers" or "usr/bin/hp on funet.fi has it all" to cut down on the repeats and get a really good network of information in operation. I'm not sure the current system is very efficient. Let me just add a big ME TOO for all those wonderfull scraps of info that have still eluded me--like the 48 internals file, or maybe just the name of the directory ata ftp site that has all this stuff (logging on to ftp is one thing, finding what you want is another) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) By the way, I'm not doing this (my suggestion) because I have too few answers, I don't post messages often enough, and I'm not sure that my .sig is going to work at any specific moment. :-) :-) :-) :-) John Greenup icsu8268@montana.oscs.edu (I'm not even sure that's the proper form of an Email address!!) -- ---------------------------------------------|----------------------------- John Greenup | snail mail: Internet: icsu8268@caesar.oscs.montana.edu | P.O.
