There are several Q&A type sessions.  Since it is right next  H door to ZKO, you will find a large number of engineers available during H the day.  Several of us also hang out at the bar afterwards enjoying an  adult beverage.   I I'm looking forward to it.  Very fun, very tiring.  I think I'm speaking  G for a total of 8 hours (1 1hr talk, 2 1.5hr talks, each repeated once)   on I64 related topics.     --   John Reagan / HP Pascal/{A|I}MACRO for OpenVMS Project Leader  Hewlett-Packard Company    ------------------------------   End of INFO-VAX 2005.177 ************************
