Wow. I’m sure you’re right! I wasn’t in the car-buying market yet back then, and just assumed they were related. Maybe CVCC was a semi-tortured acronym (ok, initialism) because they thought it might become the Civic’s main powerplant? Or, as also suggested, it could be just a backronym. Fortunately we aren’t at all off-topic here! ☺ (Not criticizing, I think I may have started it—good on ya for changing the topic.) …phsiii ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
