Austria's in NATO, Bob. Has been for decades. Wrong. They've been legally neutral since '52. They can't end it unilaterally. You might want to check the maps again, John. They're in the UN and have applied for EEC membership (last I heard - they might have gotten in). They are most definitely not part of NATO.
