I assume he was planning to put it on your FTP site. This is of no concern to me, but Rob and a few others have been using these newsgroups as an alternative to news:alt.fan.monty-python . I assume that your Internet Service subscribes only to work-related newsgroups. Complaints to these few have resulted in insults and nose thumbing. I am asking you to acquaint Rob with proper professional conduct and appropriate use of newsgroups. -- Andy Young Public Works & Government Services Canada Voice (Can)819-956-3090 Ottawa, Canada Fax 819-956-5613 andy.young@ssc-asc.x400.gc.ca
