The most recent survey of the VM Mailers had the questionaire mailed
on Tue 1/27.  So far, 624 mailers have returned their mail.  There were
about 740 sent out.  I've reproduced the summary below with the second
column the results from the Aug 29th survey.  In merging the two
lists, I noticed one anomaly.  There is a version '15.07' mailer,
that in fact is not a VM Mailer, but UNB's MVS mailer.  I will
attempting to correct for that in the future.

There is a sizable decrease in the 1.25 sites.  Some of these
have upgraded to 2.08, and several have not responded.  I know
at least one of these is no longer on the air.

The number of mailers running Version 1 is down to less
than 3%, and the number running R2.07 or R2.08 is now over 80%.
Almost 50% now run 2.08.

Several people asked me to collect the levels of the tables
running at the various VM Mailer sites.  I attempted to do this,
but it has caused problems at least one site, and I will not
be performing this again until I can work out a better method.
I have included the responses below the VM Mailer level survey.
This data was collected during the am of 1/29 from those
sites running V2 that responded by that time.  I believe the number
was 606 sites. Due to some links being down, I only have responses
from 441 V2 sites, but the summary is listed below.
