Hi All --
    Is anybody out there old enough to remember the Vector P-173 wiring
pencil?  I was reminded of it while looking over the new edition of Don
Lancaster's "CMOS Cookbook", where it is (was) highly recommended.  I
had forgotten how good it was -- easier to use than Slit-n-Wrap for #30
daisy-chain wiring, and the insulation melted like flux with low-temp
solder.  Should be useful for solder-in PICs.
    Although Slit-n-Wrap still seems to be doing fine, the P-173 pencil
is no longer in the Vector catalog.  The Sales Department "never heard
of it", and don't know where to find that wire.
    Ring a bell, anybody?
