Solves this case, mostly, but in some ways it doesn't solve the problem. A good part of the problem is simply that a distributor like Omega works on commission and doesn't have the time or resources to really deal with very low volume accounts such as teachers and grad students (three sets of chips, a set of manuals, and you never hear from them again). It tends to get very expensive for them to do this handholding, so they try to minimize it, justifiably so. But we don't want to cut the schools out from our product, so what we've done here at National is set up a University support program to help get the information and materials needed out to the people in the school. If you're working with National parts, and are having trouble getting the information you need, drop me a line and I'll do what I can do get you hooked into the program. chuq -- From left field, near the warning track: Chuq Von Rospach {cbosgd,fortune,hplabs,ihnp4,seismo}!nsc!chuqui nsc!chuqui@decwrl.ARPA Even though a poem be a thousand words, but made up of senseless words, one word of a poem is better, which if a man hears, he becomes quiet. --The Dhammapada
