Yes - the name of the program is 'track'. I think it originated at Bellcore, but one place you can get it by anonymous ftp is from athena-dist.mit.edu. They have hacked with it some for Project Athena purposes, but I think you'll find it usable. (I'm not an expert on this - we just started trying to learn to use it.) haynes@ucscc.ucsc.edu haynes@ucscc.bitnet ..ucbvax!ucscc!haynes "Any clod can have the facts, but having opinions is an Art."

It is also hacked from the BellCore version. Mark.
