If Larry has a copy of the moa2front, then you can just send him a copy of
your data file and he can attach it to his copy of moa2front. If he has
already attached a copy of a data file attaches, he'll need to delete the
links.

Speaking of fronts, John has produced a new copy of moa2front. We now
have an ftp site, so rather than emailing around copies of the new
database, I will simply point you to the anonymous ftp site:

sunsite.berkeley.edu
/data/_b/ftphome/pub/moa

This new version of the database front (named fronte, for version e)
includes the facility for printing work orders for an entire object (which
I suspect will be handy for Larry). It also includes some fixes for some
other (small) problems.

Let me know if this is unclear.
