[ARC5] Screw usage

Sun, 24 Nov 2002 12:20:51 -0500

Well done, Jack!  I can't remember the last time I have removed *only* 
the cover for anything - it's usually for a major rework, thus my 
groundless speculation.  Makes imminent sense, like most things ARC did. 
  Thanks for looking it up and straightening it out!

Best 73,
Mike
