I would like to point out, though, that I suggested this last Spring on this very newsgroup and was met by thundering silence. It is not a "new" idea at all. -=- Tim Maroney, Carnegie-Mellon University Computation Center ARPA: Tim.Maroney@CMU-CS-K uucp: seismo!cmu-cs-k!tim CompuServe: 74176,1360 audio: shout "Hey, Tim!"
