10's of thousands of lines of SAS code I wrote long ago... Then went on
the AIX bandwagon on RS6000's.

All long ago. The only PROC I do now is PROC Tologist :-)

I have a few questions:
1. What is the size (Tonnage) of the upstairs and basement condensing units?
2. What is the size (Tonnage) of the upstairs and basement evaporator

3. Was the bid to replace the piston only or to replace the total metering
device?
