I, too, would appreciate some comment on this item.  We had a mixup in
acquisitions over the summer and somehow missed any information which came
out on the change here.  When the subscription was reinstated, we had a
confusing new format.  Any help would be appreciated, so please include me
in any responses.  Thank you, Karen.
