Paid based on characters? That is very unusual. Much more common is (total number of characters - (number of characters/6) ) / 6, where the author is told that they are paid on the basis of either "x" characters, or "z" characters, but it is calculated on the basis of "y" words. "x" is the total number of characters in the equation, and "y" is the result of that equation. "z" is the result of the first part of the occasion. When "z" is used, the author is told not to count spaces. The precise method they are using can make a huge difference to how much you get paid --- or even if you get paid. xan jonathon --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
