        Gotcha. Could you E-mail me the list once more, so I can do some careful
comparison? What I will do is copy the ones that have a major discrepancy,
and the one that's not in there, and get them off to you.

        Arrrghhhhh.... it's kind of ironic too. I've spoken with a senior sales
type at Mentec. He tells me that a hobbyist license for things like RT11
and RSTS is not out of the question. It just happens to be low on Mentec's
priority list at the moment since they're busy with paying customers and
Y2K issues.

        At least I didn't get an outright 'No!' or 'Bug off!'

        Oho, you remembered. ;-) Thanks!
