For the record, software at NAU sweeps all NAU internal email and all PHYS-L
postings for virii.  NAU antivirus SW is regularly updated, but no system is
foolproof. Please don't send attachments to PHYS-L or open attachments
from PHYS-L.  If you have a file to share, save it somewhere on a website
(email if you want help or a site for this), and post the URL to PHYS-L.
