I feel Ton's magical arabic to roman converter warrants being honoured with a name -- and maybe a wikipedia entry. :-). My first thought was HART: Hospelian Arabic to Roman Transform. Remembering this old "ton is an alien" thread, I now propose "Earthman": Eye-popping Alien Roman Ton Hospelian Magical Algorithm for Numerals If you can think of a better name, please let us know. :-) Cheers, /-\ Send instant messages to your online friends http://au.messenger.yahoo.com
