If this is so, the cost of posting to multiple groups is very small, both in transmission time and disk utilization (though there is some wear and tear on the reader's part, which I have assumed is the overriding reason for pleading for restraint in multiple postings). Can Mark or someone settle this point? -- Lyle McElhaney (hao,brl-bmd,nbires,csu-cs,scgvaxd)!denelcor!lmc
