I received a large number of responses and I thank everyone who took the time to mail back a copy. Some preliminary comments, as suspected, there appears to be more of a problem with Bitnet-->Internet translation errors. Why this is, I do not know at present. Thanks also go out to the net gurus who helped me get a Topological map of the Bitnet. This should aid in piecing together the puzzle. Just a quick note to those who are wondering what the offensive characters are; while many showed up at a site or two, the biggest offender is the "^" circumflex / up arrow which a lot of mailers ate, and either didn't substitute anything or just put in a Ctrl-H character. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Todd A.
