*EDITORIAL ON*
Well, I got the "New Improved... Temporary Digests".

Give the fact I am using "Vanilla" VMS Mail Utility (Under 4.5) it makes
it pretty hard to look thru the files.  I usually delete the entries I
don't want/need immediately and print out the important ones.

If someone wants to generate a utility for making VMS Mail chop these
digests up a bit nicer (Like the REXX MAILBOOK Utility found on IBM
BITNET nodes) then I would say Yes!

However, sink the format for now...
*EDITORIAL OFF*

For those of you who requested my SWING fixes, I hope to ship them out soon.
Bitnet folk, I'll try and get my source code ported over to SCFVM and shipped
out ASAP.  If you have a fix so Swing doesn't blow up or draw wierd structures
with very large (Read 30 users on a RA81) tree structures, I would like to
see it.

For all of you who responded to my DECNET-JNET requests, thanks... I am
compiling my multitude of responses right now (Many thanks to the folk at
Joyner... I didn't know they were on the net).

Regards,
