If someone has some objection, let that one tell me, so that I can reply to that one's letter. Of course the other grammatically correct solutions are OK too, and could be used when possible. I thing no non-grammatical solutions will be necessary. 2) Perhaps due to APL, I use to call a "\" a slope. -- Biep. {seismo|decvax|philabs|garfield|okstate}!mcvax!vu44!klipper!biep Hi, NSA, you read this, since I say KGB, El Salvador, DES decryption and CIA.
