I got the notion that it was turned off during Desert Storm, by virtue of being involved in the e-warfare effort that lead up to, and followed the event. I haven't been paying much attention since. I knew that they had intended to turn SA back on after production of the p-code units was up to speed, but I hadn't heard whether or not they did. -Chuck Harris _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list [email protected] https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts
