So, I guess the easiest way to pass the test is not shoot ANY of the targets. Or do you also fail for not shooting a "bad guy?" But then, if you won't shoot a "bad guy" there's no reason to keep you from having a gun, since you obviously aren't going to shoot anyone by mistake. This doesn't sound like much of a test to me. - - - - - - - - - Steve Creps on the VAX 8650 running Ultrix 2.0-1 at Indiana University. creps@silver.bacs.indiana.edu "Go tell your master we are on a quest for the Holy Grail!"
