Check with the postmaster at your site to find out if the maps are being squirrelled away somewhere. If not, some delicate screaming is in order. Since you're on the Internet, all you need to do is send mail to "username@csun.edu" and if they have a name server it should get to her. If not, you'll need to find out which host she has an account on and send mail to "username@hostname.csun.edu". >-- >Raul Rockwell | >INTERNET: raulmill@usc.edu | >UUCP: ...uunet!usc!raulmill | 55 mph = 82 nc >U.S.SNAIL: 721 E Windsor #4, GLENDALE CA 91205 | >Raul Rockwell | >INTERNET: raulmill@usc.edu | >UUCP: ...uunet!usc!raulmill | 55 mph = 82 nc >U.S.SNAIL: 721 E Windsor #4, GLENDALE CA 91205 | Your signature is broken, Raul.
