Gee, Wayne, thanks for that macro-name story! I _really_ needed that one! Consider that message saved and passed around to whomever will read it.

Jeff, If you ever run into anyone who worked for RCA on the Eastern Test Range (now called Eastern Space and Missle Center) ask them about the program and the guy. Maybe they'll tell you how that same guy got straight-jacketted by the British on Ascension and packed back stateside after a stunt he pulled there … your basic misunderstood genius who believed that programming is an art and the corrollary that no program is any good unless you figure out a way to use every machine instruction in it. wmc
