The lunar base where Floyd and company landed was, indeed, Clavius (located in the crater Clavius). The monolith was dug up in the crater Tycho -- thus its title, TMA-1 (Tycho Magnetic Anomaly-1). If you'll recall, Floyd had to take a trip via moonbus out to the Tycho site from Clavius. You know, I wonder why they didn't refer to the "Tycho monolith" as "TMA-1" in 2010? Too confusing to the audience? Just not enough continuity? B.K. Cobb ihnp4!ihuxi!okie "Will this upstart ever stop?" p.s. Jeff Meyer -- if you're out there, it's okay to use my line "My God, it's full of critics!" as a sign-off. I haven't been able to get a mail message to you since you asked me about this a few weeks back. I like to keep switching sign- offs, so having one used for posterity's sake is fine by me. Sorry I couldn't get this to you by netmail.
