Doug,

I just scanned the list and descriptions quickly and (un?)fortunately
cannot recommend any cuts without further evaluation (sorry, I'm a
packrat). There are titles I'm anxious to try (most of the chem. or
phys.) and some I wish I was organized enough to use, but none I can
offhand dismiss. My list of lame excuses for not having run most of 
the programs includes preps for three provincial exams, two of my own, 
next year's budget, three pretty cute kids here at home and chronic 
lack of sleep due to playoff hockey! Every time I think the list will 
shorten, it seems to get longer:-} I'll let the list know when I start 
to evaluate certain programs.

All the best

Gordon Truesdale
