Gary,

every time you post to the list you also send an attachment named vcard.vcf.
Any idea what that is, and why it always accompanies your email? I have seen
it from a few other subscribers too and every now and then I delete these
little files from my hard drive.

While I am here....as a devoted DERIVE user I accept your challenge and I
will soon devote some time to teaching myself DERIVE. Meanwhile, I have no
intention of abandoning my DFW - Derive for Windows - as a quick, easy, and
powerful way to do my calculus. After all, how would I solve my own
calculus finals without it (or my TI-92...which is pretty much the same thing!)
