hello

i would first like to thank the following people for some very good
suggestions

Dannielle georgette
Anthony Miller
Jim Fitzmaurice
pat o'brian
Greg Freemyer
alan_at_nabeth.cxo.dec.com

Most of the answers pointed towards the same thing, hence I am including one
of the answers.

Secondly, I am using a 4.0X release of the OS , hence I know its not very
difficult.So I just wanted a sanity check.

Thanx again
balaji./
