NJRolls.zip and loaded it into a word processor. Looks ok. Wonderful, and thanks! I can't find the FAQ that would have been sent to me when I subscribed to the ROLL-L distributed mailing list. But I think sending attachments through the list is a no-no. Attachments should be sent direct by private email. I don't know why. I have always received attachments through the list intact. They must cause problems on the list server's end. Or maybe people are wary of receiving them in a mass-mailing mode. I really don't understand the purpose for the restricion. Nancy, can you explain the ROLL-L attachments policy? Is there a reason that they are not allowed? Have a nice day, Martha. I think I am going to enjoy your contributions. -Bill _______________________________________________________________ William Henry Roll Blythe, California [email protected] The genealogy of the ROLL, MANGEL and VAN WOGGELUM families on the World Wide Web at http://members.aol.com/whroll "A thousand candles have burned themselves out; yet I read on."
