First, I'd like to thank Alastair for the kind words.  Second, yes, I will still
be on the net.  Brian S. at Claris has already set up my account on the Sun
there and mail directed to sun!claris!drc should find me.  There will, however,
be about a two week period where I will be only sporadically available as I
arrange and execute a move of approximately 400 miles.

BTW, I will inquire as to the feasibility of publishing the document specifi-
cation.  I tend to think that Claris will continue Apple's policy of not
publishing it, but it can't hurt to ask.
