Also, it seems that everyone is heading towards XHTML and/or XML eventually, so it is probably a good time to start changing our habits now. :-) Anthony -- Anthony Fok Tung-Ling Civil and Environmental Engineering [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] University of Alberta, Canada Debian GNU/Linux Chinese Project -- http://www.debian.org/intl/zh/ Come visit Our Lady of Victory Camp -- http://www.olvc.ab.ca/
