The only tapes I have *ever* seen are Here, at Xyvision Design Systems (used to be Contex), we are using, I thought we were told to use, MP tapes. This is wrong? That could be the culprit in some problems we have been having too. At any rate, I, too, would be interested in knowing the answer to John's first question, above. What cleaning kits are recommended and where does one acquire them? Thanks, Jeff -- ------------------------ Jeff Carey contex!jeff@uunet.uu.net
