Dave,

    Below is a copy of an email first sent to the Autocat 
list back in August of '98 by Gene Kinnaly at LC (I have his 
permission to post this). I've found it very useful over the 
past few years, as it is a good guide to follow.

   I-N                      Z7-799
   O-T                      Z8-899
   U-Z                      Z9-999


2) Separate works. By title.  .xA61-Z458
