It is described in the latest DECUS library s/w catalog as "updated from WOW! Talk about good response! 1st Brad Price, (LSU Experimental Relativity Group) says yes, he has it and would be happy to send it. I say "thanks, please do". This is *immediately* followed by my receipt of part one (of 3) of BRU from Dr. Frank J. Nagy ("VAX Guru & Wizard, Loose Cannon" - gotta love that tag). Before I can tell Brad I have already received BRU, I receive 3 parts from him as well. So the next time someone tells you your cheque (Canadianism) is in the mail, you just *might* think about believing it. Thanks also to Carl J Lydick and "E. Loren Buhle, Jr." who offered, and who I was able to "just say no" to. Thanks also to everyone else who's messages will no doubt cross with this posting. b.

The spelling of "cheque" is an Englishism. The fact that it's been in the mail for the last 8 years and hasn't arrived yet, that's a Canadianism. -- Norman Diamond diamond@tkov50.enet.dec.com If this were the company's opinion, I wouldn't be allowed to post it.
