I regret that you didn't understand from my reply that "check the FM" is useless, got somewhat embarrassed by your non-reference, and rushed to fix it with a precise, useful reference. you see, it is amazing that anybody can even have the _gall_ to say "check the FM" with respect to a document this big, but you seem to continue to think it's perfectly OK and that my _precise_ reference is _worse_ than your useless piece of arrogant drivel. I find this moderately amusing. the reference I provided _is_ useful to anybody who actually _has_ a copy of the standard ("the FM"). I wanted to find out: (1) did you have a copy, or where you just blowing hot air? (2) would you provide a useful reference to your own "check the FM" uselessness, or would you get really pissed because you were just blowing hot air and were exposed as such? I conclude that you were just blowing hot air. | Sorry. I'm no interested in talking with you. my loss, I'm sure. #:Erik -- I believe in life after Year 2000, four-digit years, and 24-hour clocks.
