[NTLUG:Discuss] Re: Heroes of the National Disaster and HELP!

[Allen Flick]

Hello North Texas Linux User Group:  I lurk here mostly but a friend
posed this question to me that follows.  This is also going to him so
if he wants to join the NTLUG list he's getting the info to go to NTLUG.ORG
to do so.

Any help is appreciated.
