Greetings:

   I've been using this triclorofloroethine/isopropol based tape unit cleaner
for about 6 or 7 years now.  The environmentalists have made this product
impossible to find.  What I would like is to know if anyone has found and
effective replacement for it.   The alcohol is the cleaning agent and 
the trichlor is the drying agent.....IBM has come out with a new 
cleaner which is 99% water however I am reluctant to use it on my CDC tape
units. It doesn't dry and the foam tipped swabs I use to get into those
little nooks and crannies will not absorb the liquid; it just beads up
and falls off.
