Is that the Program Scott Watson said he was working on? By the way, is Scott reachable by E-mail via uucp? As the people at General Electric consider access to network services, such as GEnie and Compuserve, by non-US members as "against the laws of the United States" (see a recent report in NEWSBYTES UK), they cut themselves from a fair potential of users in Europe, Canada and elsewhere. Yes, this is ridiculous. -- Danny +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Mail : Danny Schwendener, ETH Macintosh Support | | Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, CH-8092 Zuerich | | Bitnet : macman@czheth5a UUCP : {cernvax,mcvax}ethz!macman | | Internet: macman@ifi.ethz.ch Voice : yodel three times | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+

Don't think he plans to be. As for GEnie and the net access in Europe, I don't think that its GEnie's fault as they were working on getting established over there..course this is just a guess on my part from rambling messages from elsewhere f o d d e r -- Norm Goodger SysOp - MacInfo BBS @415-795-8862 3Com Corp.
