Thanks to the great members of the HP3000-L, I too will be taking this
weekend off and not worrying about installing the PP5 tape I have.  I'll
have to wait and see what comes out of all this.  Since I'm in digest mode,
does anyone know how often the days postings are put onto the HP3000-L
Archives.  I normally read through my digest and then search by subject
through the archives.  However, I don't want to miss the posting by HP or
Scott on this matter.
