Sonya,

 We have about the same number of current subscriptions as you do, and we
spent this year about three hours doing a line-by-line check of the proforma
against last year's invoice.  Everything went very smoothly.  There were a
few title changes which were new information, but all the other data we just
trust and accept.  It's a situation where if a problem arises at a later
time, it can be addressed then.

Do you have the ability to run a VITLS (vendor invoice tape load)?  If so,
this could make the price checking and entering for payment speedier for
you.   We have NOTIS and hope to run our first VITLS this year.
