Well, the one I.T. guy and I completely revised the procedures and 
documentation to allow vendors needing documentation like spec sheets and 
architectural drawings to use the company's FTP site.  It's solved problems the 
company managers and vendors have been wrestling with from time immemorial it 
seems, because they didn't understand that an FTP site was different than a web 
site, and using MSIE wasn't a good way to go about it, and certainly not open 
things up on the site.  Now, I think they realize an FTP site is intended as a 
data upload and download conduit, and that Windows Explorer makes a fine client 
for that.  (grin)  So, a good I.T. guy is a good alit to have.

Nick
