Ed:  Thanks!  I've been using MT-NewsWatcher so long that it is like  
an old friend.  I've watched it grow from the olden days at  
Northwestern university under Jon Norstad.  I'm so used to it that  
it's like an old sweater -- very comfortable.  Sure it has a hole in  
the elbow and it hasn't been mended lately, but changing is a hassle!

Cheers,

earle
