Hi Patrick,

probe

"there was a congressional probe into the scandal"

Now, mc at the time is a view face, and these are BIG!
Probing them is like trying to cut a whale in half,
using a nail-file. That said, running this code needs about 15s
until the first probe output is shown, and about the same time
until it's run through. I'm on a PIII 900, Linux, how long did
_you_ wait? ;-)
Kind regards,
Ingo
