But for those of us not on the Retrospect List, it would be
appreciated if replies to Tom's query would be posted to this list.
And Tom, if you post this query to the Retrospect List, could you
forward any answers you get to me or others on this list, if it's not
too much trouble? I'm not sure I want to sub to another listserv just
yet. Thanks.

I would also suggest the LABMGR (University and College Lab
Managers) list for this query. I don't have the subscription info on
me, but I believe you join the list via the Web. Start here:
