Well, at least we are "getting" to the bottom of this problem. I realized at the time that a local section might know the answer to any given question but never considered it improper to use the net or "bother the net". I tried to discern the specific purpose of the .tech group and could not find anything definitive so I tried. I know a user who finds it too intimidating/complex to post at all but reads all the Amiga info. Are you sure the purposes of the group discussions are clearly defined? BTW, I know that Greg is the Sysop of pnet02 and I am not trying to be in conflict with him on this. Cross posting seems far more dangerous.
