[bionet.general] Thanks to Lauri Kanerva, Rob Liebschutz et al.

I'd like to express my appreciation to Lauri Kanerva, the BIONET
programmer who developed XGENPUB.  Lauri and the other systems
programmers and operators are responsible for keeping BIONET up and
running and are at work behind the scenes while you are doing your
sequence analysis and using the communications facilities.

Besides Lauri, Rob Liebschutz, our head systems programmer, has spent
many a late night at BIONET working on the DEC, Sun and VAX computers.
Rob, in conjunction with applications programmer Jean-Pierre
Dautricourt, has worked on BIONET's FASTP-MAIL program.  Rob also
maintains the ARPANET link and has established BIONET's USENET
newsgroups.  Rob is assisted by David Horner (BIONET's senior computer
operator), Ron Diaz (systems programmer), and Tom Griner (systems
programmer), all of whom devote part of their time to running BIONET
and adding new features to the Resource.  I'd like to thank all of
them for their efforts on behalf of the molecular biology community.

				Sincerely,

				Dave Kristofferson
				BIONET Resource Manager

Dave et al,
are we still going to call the program XGENPUB?  The X used to signify
alpha and beta test versions.  I suggest renaming the program to be just
GENPUB (and why not GENEPUB?).

Larry,

XGENPUB still has more modifications in the queue.  We will
undoubtedly revise the name in the not-too-distant future.
