You are correct. It is a standard image for a government workstation. The predominant utilities that are on the image are Novell & Lotus. The OS is Windows 2000.

I appreciate the advise you have given me. I will certainly try them. The full system specs are in my reply to Daniel Morgan.

Thank you for your time & consideration in this matter. I will post the results of my efforts after work tonight ;) Received on Tue Feb 17 2004 - 07:13:41 CST
