Re: A dumb *S36 question - printer problem

Yes, the operator at Montreal was not in to-day , so I couldn't get the

I will send this message to my office, and will reply with it asap.
In the meantime, if you have a service agreement with IBM , let them
know what your problem is, they might be able to send it Purolator
quicker than me.
