That's true, we have Bill Clinton to thank for that. My unit now says I'm accurate to within +/- three to four meters; it used to be +/- twelve meters! But the US military receives a different signal than the civilians. I thinks it's called the P signal, digitally encryted, much more accurate I think. -- Juan Miguel Cacho [EMAIL PROTECTED] Para�aque City, Philippines GnuPG Public Key Key ID 7B071F7F http://www.philonline.com/~chocovim/pancitmolo.pgp Drive safely. 90% of people are caused by accidents. _ Philippine Linux Users Group.
