pardon. I'm new to the group and did not know that there was a a "vault"
collection attached to the eGroup.  Thanks for the pointer!  I've got
them now...

Might make another couple of pointers for the FAQ:

  Can I access archived messages?  Yes. it is accessible through the
Boost message archive via www.eGroups.com

  Is there any other software availible?  Yes. it is accessible through
the Boost file archive via www.eGroups.com

actually the more I look at the above the more my answers look lame, but
I'm sure someone else can come up with better answers ;-)

Excelent! I look forward to it...

I doubt that I'll be *criticizing* it much though ;-)  I however expect
that I'll try to wrap my head around getting it to address
multi-dimentionality sanely.

Catch ya' down the bit stream...
