Hi Mark,
Would it work if I just removed the link from the top "Athena" listing and
kept the three sublistings?
Printing from Athena would point to http://web.mit.edu/olh/Printing/
Printing from Windows95... would point to http://web.mit.edu/is/pubs/ns-56/
Athena Printing System would point to
http://web.mit.edu/is/help/printing/basch.html
I'm also willing to reformat the basch page if no one owns it or is
attached to the lovely shade of grey that it now sports.
Just let me know...
Kris
