Same figure I had come up with Erik but a more convoluted method. Sometimes just putting the problem into text to send helps me visualize it well enough. Thanks Erik, whiskey I have, but the docs say I shouldn't, so I'm stuck with 1 or 2, no more, very low carb beers. I'm a bleeder these days among other things like DM-II. I like black jack, but its taken about 5 years to do most of a big jug of it. Call me a one beer a night alcoholic I guess. :) Cheers, Gene Heskett -- "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
