- Two things.

- 1. davec@hawaii.edu Is this who I think it is? Where the c comes
- from throws me though!

- 2. You mean if you copy or write one line to a ten paragraph file
- the bytes from the original are still there? If they are than the
- original must still be in there somehow too.

- Don't laugh at this but just a thought. You have to reply as to
- if you are who I think you are. davec ???? 8;)
