Ok, I found it and you are correct. For some reason, I did not look above the divider line, which separates entries into groups of 5. Thanks for the correction. I infer from your comment that there is a later edition of the book than the First Edition - or were you referring to a hardback/paperback kind of edition? -lar P.S. The network listed is ERNET, the Education and Research in Computer Networks. "To access the ERNET info-server, send electronic mail to uunet!shakti!infoserv or mcvax!shakti!infoserv and the body of the message should include: request:directory topic:name[name][name] where name is the user name at a site in India. Case is important. Replies are returned by electronic mail." -- Lar Kaufman I would feel more optimistic about a bright future (voice) 512-794-9070 for man if he spent less time proving that he can (fax) 512-794-0623 outwit Nature and more time tasting her sweetness lark@tivoli.com and respecting her seniority. - E.B.
