Well, I thought I remembered where I had put that MacChat.pl file. But obviously I do NOT know what I did with it. Unfortunately, after six hours of looking on the net I can't find where I originally got the file from. Matthias, can you e-mail me a copy of it so I can just pop it into the MacPerl folder? Thanks if you can find the time to do this. Or, if not, can you let me know where to look on the net for it? Thanks again! :-) Mark ( mark@cheers.jsc.nasa.gov or markem@flash.net )
