I also enjoy reading the bulletins and would like to encourage mgweed!rjr to continue his postings. By the way, the lower case modification is a definite improvement. Keep up the good work! Just one question: What's a "mgweed"? I've been wondering about that for a while, pronouncing it as "mag-weed". We've got lots of "tumble-weed" around here - any similarity?

Mgweed (pronounced mig-weed) stood for Montgomery Western Electric Engineering Development. (Named before we became AT&T Consumer Products!) All six UN*X machines on our site have similar names all beginning with 'Mg' and four more letters. Orders from corporate headquarters dictate this naming scheme.. Thanks for support on the bulletins... Phil Gunsul -- WB9AAX
