Hello,
        A DEC Rainbow in Vancouver. (Kevin?) Get it while it's hot! Alan
said "...as you see fit" and I don't know many groups fitter than this. If
you *have* a RB but not MS-DOS 3.10B, you likely want the latter at least.
                                                                - Mark
