I searched via InterNIC and found a listing for a John McCormick, but it gave only a telephone number and didn't indicate a location or an email address. Does anyone know professor McCormick and know if he has an email address? I can call the McCormick listed, but I'd like to have some idea if this is the right person beforehand. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Matthew S.
