Since then I've gotten numerous replies saying "gee, it worked for me",
or something to that effect.  Maybe.  But it didn't work as of around
7:30 EST this morning.  And it still wasn't working as of 11:30 EST,
when someone from SGI called me.

Here's what I've sent to the people who replied to my original posting.
I'm posting it here in hopes that it will help prevent a zillion more
"but it worked for me" messages from piling up in my mailbox.  Thanks!
