Now, if I can save moey by purchasing one of these new products (or if I can get something more quickly), the value of the net to those in the administration is now much greater and easier to justify. --john -- John McDermott {gatech|ucbvax|convex}!unmvax!mcdermot Univ of NM W (505) 277-4650 Albuquerque, NM 87131 H (505) 255-7796
