              "The world is not only stranger than we imagine,
               it is stranger than we CAN imagine..."
                                               - R. A. H.

Thursday again...

...which means that I am studying for a Biology quiz and writing the 'list
at the same time.  OK!  What is the chromasome number in a primary oocyte?
You can assume that we are talking about humans.

While you are mulling over that one, I can thank Arthur Jensen for his news
about a new name server.  NDCSNEWS@NDSUVM1 is provided by the North Dakota
State Univeristy HECN.  It will accept the following command syntax:

  WHO   

where    are the strings to be searched
for in the HECN user list.  Only one string need be specified. Results
will be sent to you in the file WHO RESULT.  For example:

  TELL NDCSNEWS AT NDSUVM1 who Jensen
  R; T=0.01/0.02 10:00:37
  FROM NDSUVM1(NDCSNEWS): *Your Who Results are being sent as a file.

The WHO RESULTS file would look like this:

  *ID1 NU193730 Jack Jensen         NDSU CS 777-1234 student
  *ID1 UD013897 Jasper Jensen       UND Computer Sci 777-5678 student
  *ID1 UD040164 Arthur D. Jensen    UND Geography 777-8765 student
  *ID1 UD102600 Zebadiah Jensen     UND Biology 777-4321 other
  4 Matches

The  parameter may be a name, userid, department, phone
number or title (student, other).

Belive it or not...

...that is all the news I have for this week.  By the way, the chromasome
number in a human primary oocyte is 46.  At least, that is what I will
be answering on the quiz.

Virtually;

Chris
(Fuzzyman)
