A couple months ago, I posted a question about testing for Normality in
a data set.  Thanks to the following for help:

Sorry for not responding sooner; I was busy finishing my dissertation.
Based on the advice I received, I used the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test for
fit to a normal distribution.

Thanks again!
Monte
