Matt & Jeff,
Thanks for reminding me of the problems associated with my suggestion. I 
now believe diagnostic script creation/implementation should be left to 
each release/branch.

Everyone,
I agree with Matt's assessment. Ray did a great job, as usual, with the 
rewrite. With Richard's modifications, I believe we have something that 
most users will read and use.

I thank everyone for their suggestions and comments. :-)

Lynn,
When you have time, would you commit the new version to cvs? Thanks.
