- Different strokes....:-).... at our site the SAS consultants
- (Greg Madden and myself) are not systems programmers and cannot
- apply zaps and we are heavy SAS users.

- Sorry Paul!!!! I failed to mention that we also support OS/2,
- Winders, SUNs, HPs, and RISC 6000s. Unfortunately there have
- been zaps and alert notes posted for UNIX(SunOs) as well as for
- the other UNIX flavors and all of the PC flavors. Below is a
- list of the ALERT notes I have rec'd regarding UNIX(SunOs), these
- we send to our SUN users, as well as those we send to mainframe
- users. Sooooo *none* is perfect not even UNIX....:-).....
