[Fwd: [ECS] Need help with TVL Event] Jeff Boyes Thu, 16 Dec 1999 10:44:34 -0700

All - 

Sorry for the near duplicate messages, but some clarification is needed. 

I still need a way to sort the TVL.TXT file, as noted in my first email
to the ECS list. Does anyone have any suggestions? It is a pain to
scroll through the TZ-M listings to get to the ECHOST listings, even if
there are only two hours of each listed.

My SECOND issue was solved when I installed the latest beta. Sorry for
the confusion.

Jeff
