        Good question Mike! We don't have an "official" list of abbreviations
here and
        the only thing consistant here is inconsistancy! I also use MIL-STD-12
(my
        personal copy) when I need an abbreviation. Unfortunately alot of the
        terminology we use is not covered in that spec. I create my own using
12D as
        a guideline.

        Is there something else? I'm still trying to drag this department into
1989. (Who
        needs Y2K problems when I have a Y2K-10 problem!)

        Thanks again!
