While I think numerical comparators like min/max can hang out in lang, I really do think higher order numerical objects such as fraction are better housed and maintained by Math folks. Chances are, if your using Fractions and Ratio's you want other Math features as well. -Mark --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
