Agreed.

Have a serious word with your employer, or go and grab VMWare ;-).

Okay, okay, okay. I get the hint.

Paul is right, the archives are a valuable resources for people requiring help

in [moving|trying] Linux.

I have now made a copy of marc-search.cgi and it is called ltp-search.cgi. I
have modified it accordingly and would appreciate it if those that were having

problems with the original would test the new one. The link on tp_mailing.html

has been adjusted accordingly, no JavaScript is required.

The next thing on my to-do list is get posted mail automagically added to the
archives. Currently I am doing this in manual mode.

TTFN,
