Always glad to see new folks with new ideas. Because of the "age and
experience" of the TechNet Forum, sometimes questions or comments make the
loop and come back around again, such as those related to cancellation of
Mil and some other kinds of specs.

This suggestion also gets posted periodically, and it's probably time
again. One of the good supporting companies, AUTOMATA, keeps a wonderfully
indexed archive of the various IPC Mail List Forums. These are coded so
virtually any browser can read them ok--no fancy flashes, scrolling, music,
tables, etc. that only some browser work on. (Automata has some other areas
that use tables, etc. but they word with the four different browser I have
available.)

Anyone with questions should first look to
http://www.automata.com/ipc/archives.htm/ and see if you can get some
resolve. This will also help  keep fresh ideas and subjects from being
buried in the repeats, which seems to frustrate some people and cause them
to want to unsubscribe.

Remember that this is a professional Forum; periodically review the msg
that IPC sent you when you logged on to the Forum about protocols and
restrictions.

Keep sharing the knowlege!
