Shannen, Bruce ...

Thanks.  

As a specific quick example ...
Scan ID = Prom ID = Positions $8000-$8001for '86-'92 TPI F Bodies
BCC = AUJP, ANJF, etc = 4 letter designation on Silver GM sticker
Mask = 8D, 6E, 32, etc = Position $8008 for '86-'92 TPI F bodies.

Thanks again ... truly appreciate it.

Tim
