Ektually, Mr. Abbott, you've got a fatal problem in the structure of your URL.
It SHOULD probably read like this:
http://miavx1.acs.muohio.edu/sys_users/bte.tdabbott/intro.html.  Note that it's
bte.tdabbot not bte/tdabbott.  It should be the other way, but ahh, fickle VMS,
we love it so.
 
And how's come when I posted about WWW pages on MIAVX1 'bout three months ago I
was told it wasn't possible for individuals to create them?  I am disproven,
happily so, but still... was it possible all along and the bureaucracy was just
lying to me?  That sure would reinforce my paranoia.
 
If *anyone* is reading this and wants to know how to create their own WWW
pages, PLEASE don't hesitate to drop me a line!  I'm trying to encourage the
festering of little independent pages.
 
happy days are here again,
adder
