The question > was quite specific... Yes, it specifically said "the two *major* benchmarks", implying that there could be others. If your understanding of the terms is correct, then I think that's sufficient reason to accept that answer. -- Mark Brader, Toronto | "Gadgetry abounded everywhere, almost all of which msb@vex.net | he could justify." -- Robert Asprin |
