Not being sure that a question or comment did not occured already 10 times in the past years may inhibit a new subscriber. Consulting the FAQ before to ask a question is part of the netiquette. Archives are kinds of not well sorted FAQs, but a coupled search engine is a powerful sorting system. Nevertheless, complete archives would be better. Due to Wintel periodic crashes, I have repeatedly lost my mailbox in the past years, unfortunarely. I try to obtain the previous archives maintained by John Quintana at Argonne National Laboratory. Any advice welcome. Armel
