Yes, it's from a technical support case notes document. It has some
english parts in it that lead me to think it may help me on a case
I'm working on now. So if you could provide even a partial translation
I would feel most grateful. I could send the full text to you privately
if you wish. It has many accented characters so I could send it as
a word 95 document or win95 write document if that would provide some
useful information.
