You can also get it DM means Deutsch Mark or German Mark (I guess you knew that :), SFr. means Swiss Frank. One US Dollar is approximately 1.8 DM right now. MWSt means MehrWertSteuer or Value Added Tax or sales tax in German. I don't know how much that is in Germany (it's 18.5 % in Holland, I have seen lower percentages quoted for the US, anywhere from 4 to 8%), but if you are a company, you can get that back from taxes. (If you export to other countries, you must pay the local VAT instead, which in turn you might get back (tax refund)) >Brian Slesinsky >ii9y@vax5.cit.cornell.edu -Thomas.
