It was the national NS office that gave me the runaround.
    
    George, I will send you a copy of the programmer's manual

Thanks very much.  I should inform the net world that I have had several
helpful responces from NS employees.

I may have spouted off about my troubles a bit too loudly in a bit too public
of a media.  I understand that any large orginization that deals with
a large number of queries about a large number of products is bound to
drop the ball on a few.  I guess the number just came up with my call.

    although I might
    editorailize that there is no such thing as "simple assembly language" 8-)...

Agreed.  Simple was intended to modify "assembly language manual" in the sense
of "mere".  English.  Fehhh !

I too will editoralize: let me deal with programmers and engineers over a
customer _______ organization any day. I have run into a few exceptionaly 
good ones. My dealings with NS was an isolated, one time thing so they may
indeed be one of the exceptions.
