	I can't wait for the day some clerk types :
"mv old/accounts/* new/accounts/* ".  Or for the day they start up the
check sorter and get "/dev/checksorter : not a typewriter" :-)  B.T.W,
I have a friend at Citibank, and I thought they were commited to Burroughs
for this sort of thing.

                                   Good luck, Citibank, 
                                                   W.rat
