Not so much for coming up with the correct answer, but being able to demonstrate an approach to attack the problem. Something like part credit -- if you demonstrate sound reasoning and come up with the wrong answer it is better than having the right answer on a guess. Unfortunately, I think that test is the right or wrong variety. marty GV: leisner.henr NS: martin leisner:henr801c:xerox UUCP: martyl@rocksvax.uucp
