Here (much delayed, to my chagrin) are the final rankings of the SIGMPE activity at IPROF last month. Owing to what turns out - inretropspect - to have been an incredibly stupid way of gathering the initial data, it has taken far too long to format this stuff out of Excel, into a format which is postable. Quick comments: A) The data has been formatted into tabular style using tabs, not space characters. Windows notepad was the editor I used. B) Only the terse description has been saved - the full description was posted earlier, and may still be around if you down load the postings. C) I'd like to thank everyone who helped to bring this data to the net, expecially Pam Bennet and Jeff Vance. (Hope the chocolate eggs were tasty!) D) Any questions,comments etc please post, and I'll respond as soon as I can. ================================================ ====== ========== Description SIG ID Final vote ================================================ ====== ========== 1.
