[Archon-L] Archon implementations

[Scott Schwartz]

Thomas,
Thanks for your note and pointing out this situation with the 
classification manager.  I suspect a small adjustment to our programming 
would enable the use of letters and numbers for  record group numbers.  
Let's see what our programmers have to say on this point.  More to 
follow.  Scott
