CT> I believe all my QTs using Regular Expressions are broken now ;-O Could it be the boxquote is affected too?? See: ,----- [ ] | Who said we use "Arabic" numerals? (I know, I just did, but bear with me while I make a point.) Our numbering system is actually Hindu. It passed down to us through the great Arab culture of the Middle Ages. We use the Hindu-Arabic numbers because they're easier to manipulate. Roman numerals are cumbersome. (Try multiplying XCLXVI by VXLI.). BUT - Sorry, But believe it or not, adding and subtracting can sometimes be easier the Roman way. Say you want to subtract 16 from 77. LXXVII is 77 and XVI, 16. Just erase an X, a V, and an I (16) from the bigger number, leaving LXI, or 61, the correct answer. The real genius of the Hindu-Arabic number system is the concept of zero. If you look at Western achievements in science and technology over the past century alone, we have really made something out of that nothing. Seems some changes have to be made... -- Best Wishes, Mark using The Bat! 1.63 Beta/8 ________________________________________________________ Current beta is 1.63b8 | "Using TBBETA" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
