John, I don't think the decision has been finalized or a date set, but I believe I read that it was CBS's intention to distribute the shares to shareholders in 1999. Should have taken the 1k shares from Merrill. there is no commiss to buy shares on an IPO. gggg larry

John: To be it did react as expected and thats why I am glad I sold covered calls Dec27 1/2 and loaded up on INF IPO. I just wish I could have gotten more INF at $20 1/2. To me INF could provide greater growth and thus thats why I'd like to hold INF versus CBS. John, I can't hold a stock on speculation and/or rumors. Talk of this and that happening is like going to Vegas. I don't want to rub this in but avoiding INF because of ML's commishies was not good. Their margin % isn't the cheapest either but I like their treatment of me as a customer. Thanks
