While there are are several reasons that one can attribute this to, the most obvious is the longevity of the product. Sorry if I wasn't clearer in my original posting. And, while I appreciate that this is well understood by the readers of this list, the comment was made in response to an issue that seemed relevant at the time, but which now eludes me. <g> Michael At 08:43 PM 29/03/96 +0000, you wrote: > >I'm sorry, you've lost me now.
