Hetrick" <[log in to unmask]> I've read over the proposed configuration and, speaking as one of y'all's customers, I think you ought to be seriously concerned that the larger format device (ZIP drive) is only suggested. I think you ought to have that in the main configuration. I've sent a note to Cynthia Entkin to that effect. The main thrust of my objection to excluding it from the primary configuration is that having to deal with the export of data in multiple files on multiple floppy disks (especially when none of my computers even HAS a floppy disk any more -- I boot off a ZIP drive) is next to impossible. When I did deal with it (I refuse to do this any more), it was taking me longer to deal with the export and reimport than it was to search out the data in the first place, walk over to the library to get it and walk back to my lab (about 15 minutes in each direction). I hope others will comment directly to the GPO. vh -- \ / Virginia R. Hetrick, here in sunny California 0 Voicemail: 310.471.1766 Email: [log in to unmask] Oo "There is always hope."
