Hello Steven.

06 Nov 02 00:03, you wrote to me:

At the top of the FTS document it does list what other documents that are
related. It also makes another error here because of the entire mess with the
expiry date and all that stuff.

The whole thing is a badly written mess and this is why there is so much
confusion, people don't often see the actual intention of the document(s),
but it is there.

And you should be able to keep it even with the current FTSC standards.

Cheers,
                Rick
