But when trying it recently, I found it wouldn't run. I'll see if I can find the most recent version and give it a try. - --- msged 1.99L MSC * Origin: Silver Bullet - Silver Spring, Md. - 301-622-2247 (1:109/417) ------------------------------ Date: 21 Jan 91 13:11 -0500 From: NOLAN LEE To: GEORGE THEALL Subject: WHERE TO GET STUFF?

Yep, sure am:-). Been trying to call your voice number and can't get an answer. Since you gave your address and indicated that you wanted the printer I have sent it to you UPS COD. Hope this was OK, if not just refuse the shipment and it will be returned.
