I think (c). But simply organized by age rather than content. And maybe it's not intentionally done this way... More recent Proceedings seem to be freely available, but older ones require membership. For example, searching the "SHARE in Tampa Bay" proceedings using the keyword LPAR finds several sessions, and I can view the presentations without a logon prompt. But doing the same thing for the one labeled "Washington DC" allows me to find sessions, and even has links to the PDF files, but trying to view leads to a logon page. The files are on different servers, it seems. An example of a non-logon download is: http://shareew.prod.web.sba.com/client_files/callpapers/attach/SHARE_in_Tampa_Bay/S2867HE121502.pdf and a logon one is: http://www.share.org/member_center/open_document.cfm?document=proceedings/Washington_DC/s2814.pdf Tony H. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
