Gary, I see that Jim has not responded yet, but I can assure you that he was a Captain in the USAF. I get to look at the memorabilia in his office almost every day! :-)
You can add my name to the list of former USAF airmen that left military service and went straight into computers as a career. I had actually tried to cross-train into data processing while still on active duty, but was denied because of a skills shortage in my specialty while overseas (automatic flight controls/autopilot computers). Hard to believe that was 30 years ago...seems like yesterday! Time flies when you are having fun! <smile> Bob --------------------------------------------------------- Robert B.

If I recall, and I am certain he will correct me if I am wrong, he was a Captain in the Air Force. His contributions to the various "tapes" were much read and I can certainly say I learned quite a bit from reading his source code back in the earlier-mid 80's. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
