Y'all really need to be more careful. Much research has been done on matter teleportation, and there is ample documentation of the dangers involved. The logs of the USS Enterprise alone are rife with the horrible consequences of "transporters gone wild".(1) In addition, the historical records of the NSEA Protector contain a particularly gruesome account of a "digital conveyor" malfunction which caused the subject to turn inside out and then explode.(2) These experiments MUST be conducted under the most rigorous controls to prevent similar catastrophes. (Unless, you're using Perl programmers as test subjects, in which case it's okay. ;^) Humorously yours, Barry --------------- (1) "Star Trek: the Motion Picture": Roddenberry, Foster and Wise, 1979 (2) "Galaxy Quest": Howard, Gordon and Parisot, 1999 -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
