Brett -
  I think it's great that you folks can put the PTFs out on line as
soon as they are tested without having to wait for Boulder to gear up
to send out the hard media.  If it means that IBMLINK has to be in sync
with Boulder and so have information that's not quite up to date, I
can live with it, especially since the PTF package (the Mac's anyway)
says what level it's at.  Keep up the good work!
