Hi, Paul.

I read all messages in all the echoes I currently get, except for any
RS  RTL messages, and PASCAL which I scan rather than read each one
because it's a busy echo. If I'm the only one reading that I'd be happy
to contribute.

In AvTech, can you just get everything except RS? :-) I wouldn't want to
contribute to that crap.

Regards, fIM.
