Is there any way in which Cyrus the Great (yes, I had to look him up, too) can be linked to sundials. I suspect not, but maybe one or two of you know better. I kid you not - this is a genuine query that has been put to me. I don't have the answer. Do any of you? David Brown Somerton, Somerset, UK ---------------------------------------------------
