Stephen Perry: > I am not arguing for any points, but would like to know why my guess of > turinelli was incorrect. I had not heard of it and assumed it was a random guess. Checking it out now, I see that I was right. Apparently there was a Turinelli company at one time, but it was based in Milan and named after its founder. -- Mark Brader, Toronto "The last time I trusted you, we had Mark." msb@vex.net -- Jill, "Home Improvement" (B.K.
