I hadn't read this post the first time it circulated, so I didn't see the assertion that I was paid to read the nets. THIS IS NOT TRUE. I do not get paid to answer phones or read net mail. No one here at THINK does, although between us, we cover Usenet, Info-Mac, and CIS. This is a service that we provide, free of charge, on our own time. As Dan said, the situation is the same with me as it is with him. >So is Larry Rosenstein. We all would like to help people with their >questions whenever possible, but we DO have work to do.

And I'll get back to work on Lightspeed Pascal 2.0 and spend less time putting up with this . --ich Rich Siegel THINK Technologies Rich Siegel Quality Assurance Technician THINK Technologies Division, Symantec Corp.
