Hi to both of you; I think the effect you described, Marshall, is called Buffering. Often it is purposely introduced into a compound (Bufferin, yes?) to temper the action of some other part of the mix - usually the primary drug or what-have-you. About a year ago someone (Jim Bare at rifetech I think) posted a link to a site with a description of various buffering solutions, how to make them, what they'd be useful for, etc. Take care, Malcolm PS> Marshall I'm working on a response and questions to your reply to me, but needed to check out some info, and got sidetracked --As Usual!
