	ILINK will certainly produce the desired result. However, 
remembering my own initial experiences, there is nothing SIMPLE about using 
any of the LINKAGE software if you haven't had much opportunity to become 
familiar with it. In particular the use of the LCP program is not 
intuitively obvious and it is not covered in the documentation that I have 
seen.
	I understand that Jurg Ott et al. are writing a HOW-to-USE-LINKAGE 
book. Can someone give us an idea of a publication date?
