I remember that A4 very quickly became the standard size in Australia, displacing quarto and foolscap in what seemed to be about a week. I haven't been to many places in central or South America but I saw A4 and US sizes in Venuzuela and in Costa Rica. I've been to several Caribbean countries but didn't pay much attention to paper sizes except that I noticed Aruba and the British Virgin Islands use mostly US sizes. -- Jon Saxton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Developer of cross-platform software for UNIX, Windows and OS/2 U.S. agent for Triton Technologies International Ltd http://www.triton.vg/
