Karen, you sound more like a librarian than a computer
scientist!! Most CS people seem to think primarily in
terms of months (or is it semesters and academic years?? ;-)

BTWm I hope this posting serves to quash rumours that Alan
and I died in that last Montreal blizzard in mid-April (!!!)
(and yes, we did consider moving the whole operation to
California at that point). I'm faithfully piling up the
URL and URN threads, but both Alan and I are up to our
eyeballs in finishing off a major development project
(which among other things will give us the follow-on to
archie, the long-promised release of WHOIS++, and few other
kitchen sinks as well). Once things stabilize a bit I'm
diving back in. Meanwhile, I'm still lurking...
