Thanks, I'll get those data in. The incorrect leaving dates are due to my script-- it runs cvs diffs of all versions of access, greps for the name and then looks for the next occurrence of a $FreeBSD$ line-- these are December leaving dates, the last of the year and obviously the script is looking in the wrong direction. I'll correct it and get a new diff in hopefully tonight. Chris
