(c) without needing a specially-programmed Palm Pilot or other "smoking gun" to hack the math? ` -Robert Dawson ================================================================= Instructions for joining and leaving this list, remarks about the problem of INAPPROPRIATE MESSAGES, and archives are available at http://jse.stat.ncsu.edu/ =================================================================
