Lines: 14 Now, I know that given m/f, I'm only allowed to pick one or the other. Since it doesn't make senses to change the meaning of an operator (in this case /, exclusive or) in the middle of an expression, having m/f/h/v mean male/female/handicapped/veteran should mean you can only be one of the above. Since, as far as I can tell, one can be both female and handicapped AND a veteran, this precludes h and v being handicapped and veteran, respectively. Mutant/famished/heavy/vesicular is also out, as one could be both mutated and hungry. Any XORable suggestions? - "no signature" rene -- Arpa: rene.umcp-cs@CSNet-relay Uucp:...{allegra,seismo}!umcp-cs!rene
