Of course, we didn't have the source, just the card...so I sat down and recreated it. I printed a whole bunch out, laminated them and gave them to my Marines to hang onto. I probably still have the PIC file laying around my directory somewhere. - Dan C. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL:
