	As someone who has fab'ed a few small-scale wire-wrap boards, I
heartily agree -- If you don't ohm out EVERY connection, you are asking
for trouble.

	Now, a question.  I've gotten sick of those "Just Wrap" tools
you can buy at Radio Schlock or through the catalogs.  Either my
technique is the pits (possible) or the tools just plain don't work
right.  I find that my percentage of good wraps is only about 2 out of
3.  Every time I need to do another board, I debate shelling out the
bucks for one of those OK electric jobs.  Is it worth it?  Any
recommendations of pre-cut, pre-stripped vs. continuous feed wire?
