As was stated earlier - searching for Leister and
Cohler on Sneezy brough back the information. For those
of you with Web access, you can search the Klarinet
Archives from http://sneezy.mika.com/clarinet/Databases .
For those of you without Web access, send an e-mail
message (no subject) with the word
help
in the body, to waisq@-----.com for instructions
on how to do searches via e-mail.
