Perhaps? Xref: mnetor sci.bio:698 sci.physics:2426 I was watching the movie "The Fly" the other night and it gave me an idea of a way to solve a problem I've been trying to solve for several years. Of course, the part that really got me started thinking was when Brendelfly vomitted all over the other fellow's hand and foot and made the body parts go away with fly digestive juices. What I am wondering is this: Is there in existence an actual enzyme, such as the digestive enzymes of some insect or another, which is known to dissolve pine rosin? Pine rosin is always a sticky mess, and hard to clean off of anything. Especially when one puts it into "rosin" soldering flux...... I would appreciate any information anybody could suggest, or advice on ways of getting the information. -- ------- Laura Watson ...[ihnp4, rutgers!moss, clyde, ulysses, cbosgd]!burt!lkw ...ihnp4!ddsw1!dino May you always have the strength to enjoy your weaknesses.
