There were some exceptions though -- salt, opium, liquors, arms and ammunition. One can understand opium (though the British had opium wars with China), and even liquors, arms and ammunity. But why salt? Could someone give me a hint of an answer? FN -- Frederick Noronha :: +91-832-2409490 Writing, editing, alt.publishing, photography, journalism Books from Goa: http://tiny.cc/goabooks
