	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,

	It appears that Mr. Searle has perhaps reconsidered his
decision to use UNIX-based transaction processing as I am told that he is
no longer involved with the project or Citibank/TTI. You may draw your
own conclusions.

	Dry-eyed and smiling :-)
