Rocklyn & Lynne,

I'm finally getting to the VM usage data Rocklyn provided last month,
and I'm having some problems understanding the numbers.

Why does a single line in the summary spreadsheet have numbers in both
the line & page printer columns when the single line appears to represent
usage for a single account number, oper form & specific printer?  Here are
two sample line items:

Files    Lines     Pages    Charge
1        35        18        $.90
157      507506    283726   $14186.30  (GL on the IBME91P printer)

In the first example, I can understand the $.90 charge for 18 pages.
What about the 35 lines?

The numbers look very accurate/predictable for GL - ~1.1M pages for
calendar 2001.  This gives me significant reassurance the numbers are
good if I can get an explanation for the numbers which appear in both
the lines & pages columns for a single line item entry.  See both
examples above...

-Dave
