Well, I didn't see any failure report that was useful to me. So I
just went to the PDF route.

I am ignoring most of the switches.

Good, Thanks, Will do.

Ooh Kay, let me ask the question this way.

How do I interrogate an ECS CD to see who the Preparer and Publisher
are?

That is where I was working from. I found very few "tags" compared
to the number of switches. My hope was that an experienced and
knowledgeable person would be aware of more "tags" than was listed there.
