Why would one find it worth the time to spend an afternoon performing surgery on that chip to replace the battery when you can get a new one on the way for about eight bucks? I thought the situation was that NOS chips were available, not new ones? Honestly, though, I might hack on even a new one: potting a battery with a limited life span is the dumbest thing since russian roulette with a pistol. I bought *new* ones from Mouser as recently as two years ago. I've heard nothing about any of them being discontinued. I agree about the limited lifespan design; that part just sucks. -Dave -- Dave McGuire, AK4HZ New Kensington, PA

Easiest way to do 'sed' type search and replace on VMS...
