                                      if x = 1 then x-1=0, and dividing by 0 is undefined. cheers, Chris Maunder

                                        I've always defined it as making a large chunk of the universe disappear. If colin isn't very careful our chunk may be next! :-P James Sonork: Hasaki "I left there in the morning with their God tucked underneath my arm their half-assed smiles and the book of rules. So I asked this God a question and by way of firm reply, He said - I'm not the kind you have to wind up on Sundays." "Wind Up" from Aqualung, Jethro Tull 1971
