It's still there in the PDF version, it's just not 508 anymore, it's moved up a couple of notches because other stuff were striken out. -- Poul-Henning Kamp | UNIX since Zilog Zeus 3.20 [EMAIL PROTECTED] | TCP/IP since RFC 956 FreeBSD committer | BSD since 4.3-tahoe Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.

catching up, AAS and US Senate
Apologies for being late with this, but I've been busy with my dad's death. There are two topics, the AAS, and the US Senate. The American Astronomical Society has a leap second committee http://www.aas.org/policy/LeapSecondCommittee.html They solicit input from professional and amateur astronomers. They are taking input until September 15, which is Friday. Bill Number S.2802 for the 109th Congress http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/z?c109:S.2802: (note the trailing colon which some mail browsers omit when fetching) This was introduced in May. The initial version had a section 508 which redefined the Calder act such that the official time of the US would be based on UTC rather than GMT. It appears that the version as reported in the senate in July struck out all of section 508. I could be wrong. -- Steve Allen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>WGS-84 (GPS) UCO/Lick ObservatoryNatural Sciences II, Room 165Lat +36.99858 University of CaliforniaVoice: +1 831 459 3046 Lng -122.06014 Santa Cruz, CA 95064http://www.ucolick.org/~sla/ Hgt +250 m
