I talked to him one night.  He  was talking about rewriting and replacing
some of our programs on grex.  I told him to mail staff and offer to help them.
I also mailed staff and told them what he had told me.

finger david@deeptht.armory.com produces a list of 21 (ish) perns.
Can't tell from that where they are, except that the few phone numbers
given are not local. So, has anyone asked them a question?
