Re: Is it possible to crack the BPCS Key logic?

Folks,

I was about to go through the roof over this because we had already discussed
it and the subject is a sore spot of mine.  Then I checked the archives and
realized that this was not only repetitive, but an EXACT COPY of the
discussion that took place in October of 2000 (note the date and time stamp
on the quoted portion of Nick's message).  Jim's message is there as well.

Obviously, we have a problem of some sort.  I'm copying this to the SYSADMIN,
and we'll see what caused it.  Please do not discuss this subject further.
If you want the final word on it, visit my response dated 11 Oct 2000 at
04:4620 in the archives.  My opinion stands, and further discussion will
_STILL_ warrant a permanent ban from the list...

Regards!
