There is something wrong in the calculations pk....it comes to 1000/- per head for 16 volunteers and 2000/- per head for 8 volunteers.100/- or even 200/- per head is a realistic figure, and I would imagine, is fine enough, but 1000/- isnt everyone's cup of tea, especially with so many students in the group. > ..pk /Sumeet -- ___________________________________________________________ This message was brought to you by Linux, the free unix.
