749 conversion

[chetwagner at uswest.net]

Due to the demand of others on the list, sometime in the near future 
I will probably put together a write-up on the conversion and have it 
available to all who want to have a good laugh.  Two problems 
though, one that can be dealt with over time.  My first problem is that 
of what is normally called COLLEGE.  Takes up most of my time just 
trying to make sense of the data for Social Statistics let alone the 
other three classes.  This shouldn't be too much of a problem, just 
will take a while to get anything written up.  The other problem, if you 
consider it a problem, is I don't have a digital camera to take any 
pictures.  If anyone has one they would lone for a while (yea, right) 
then I could include some pictures for those visual learners.  Like is 
wrote earlier, time is the main problem right now.  

Also, if anyone would like to see the ecu file I put together for my 
project, let me know and I will clean it up and put it on incoming for 
your delight.
