I tried it once and got 2200 lines of data and it was NOT a complete list. The list I got only covered a 3 month time frame. I will send the minix introductory sheet. Let me know if you get it. If this works we can try more later. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Kerry F Owens American: Box 453, APO NY 09128 German: Brand Str 13, 7032 Sindelfingen 7 FRG Internet: owens@unix1.j6.eucom.mil
