I guess it could be automated. But then, so could checking for dupes. I for one am against renewing map addresses. Its like applying for the same street address. Geese. I don't even have to renew my drivers license more than once every five years. Then of course you have the problem of an administative error where a whole block of map addresses get screwed up. I tell you, your proposal could become a night mare. Regards, Terry. -- DOMAIN: terry%red@lawton.lonestar.org (Terrence R. Redding) UUCP: . . . !rwsys!lawton!red!terry (Terrence R.
