The Dow Jones Industrial Average inched up 7 points to 11,201, edging to a new record close, while the Nasdaq slipped 2 points to 2,791. Inacom picked up 1 9/16 to 13 15/16, a 13 percent jump, after inking a $42 million, five-year technology-services contract with Blue Cross/Blue Shield of Massachusetts. The deal is consistent with Inacom's plans to increase its services-based revenue from 15 percent to 25 percent of its total sales within the next five years, said company executives. Shares of Ingram Micro jumped 5 percent to 27 3/4, a gain of 1 1/4, after signing an initial distribution agreement with CompUSA to assemble and provide maintenance for machines the computer-retail giant sells directly to business, government, and education customers. The five-year deal, expected to be finalized next month, is estimated to be worth approximately $10 billion to Ingram. The rest of the reseller channel posted slight gains Monday. Tech Data was up 1/16 to 38 1/4, Pioneer-Standard Electronics pulled ahead 1/8 to 13 1/16, CHS Electronics rose 1/8 to 4 3/8, and Savoir Technologies gained 1/8 to 9 3/8. Among VARs, En Pointe Technologies climbed 1/2 to 9 5/8. The company's stock was fueled by the launch of Internet subsidiary Firstsource.com,
