Hi Lynne,

I am just getting around to "clean-up" related activities.  Based on your
e-mail confirmation, I have deleted the following output definitions from
SF2 (they were not propagated to any other SAP R/3 environment):

      AnyPrinter       L POST2   IS: InfoPrint Manager Test (via IPM)
      E19-IP60-ld      L POST2   IS: InfoPrint Manager Test (via IPM)
      W91-3160-ld    L POST2   IS: InfoPrint Manager Test (via IPM)
      hpjdpcl-ld        L HPLJ4   IS: InfoPrint Manager Test (via IPM)
      hpjdps-ld         L POST2   IS: InfoPrint Manager Test (via IPM)
      hppsf-ld           L POST2   IS: InfoPrint Manager Test (via IPM)
      np12-ld            L POST2   IS: InfoPrint Manager Test (via IPM)
      webprt-jeff        L POST2   IS: InfoPrint Manager Test (via IPM)

When Peter has a chance, it would be most helpful to have the following
references removed from the "windsurf.mit.edu" web, as well:

      E19-IP60-ld      L POST2   IS: InfoPrint Manager Test (via IPM)
      W91-3160-ld     L POST2   IS: InfoPrint Manager Test (via IPM)
      hpjdpcl-ld          L HPLJ4   IS: InfoPrint Manager Test (via IPM)
      hpjdps-ld          L POST2   IS: InfoPrint Manager Test (via IPM)
      hppsf-ld            L POST2   IS: InfoPrint Manager Test (via IPM)
      np12-ld             L POST2   IS: InfoPrint Manager Test (via IPM)
      webprt-jeff         L POST2   IS: InfoPrint Manager Test (via IPM)

Thanks,
Theresa
