Techwhirlres:
If any others of you feel this way, please give these clients my
address, Jpittman49 -at- aol -dot- com -dot- We here at Stormy Weather Consulting have no
biases toward any wp software packages, we even write in vi, and I will
gladly write as many volumes as needed in WordPerfect 5.1 or 6.1 (I think I
still even have 3.2 on our museum-piece 8088 : ) ).
Good luck,
J.P.
