The Chinese invented _movable type_, which is a very long way away from Gutenberg's printing press. Nor is there any evidence that Gutenberg copied it - so far as I am aware, there's no way he could even have known about the Chinese invention. He appears to have come up with the idea independently on his own. ===== Gautam Mukunda [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Freedom is not free" http://www.mukunda.blogspot.com __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
