One building at Carnegie Mellon University has a main, ground-level entrance which puts you on the fifth floor. (The back side of the building, which is embedded in a steep hill, has a ground-level exit on the first floor. An adjacent, attached, older building uses entirely different floor numbering with the first floor at the higher ground level and a few sub-sub-basements beneath it.) -- == Dan == Dan's Mail Format Site: http://mailformat.dan.info/ Dan's Web Tips: http://webtips.dan.info/ Dan's Domain Site: http://domains.dan.info/ _______________________________________________ LEAPSECS mailing list [email protected] http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/leapsecs
