We were still using whale oil for quenching steel in 1995 when I was doing research at Leeds University. It was old stock, of course, but they had enough to last for many more decades. As for rapeseed oil, I am pretty sure that is what it is sold as in the UK, rather than being rebranded as Canola. What the actual oil is, I have no idea. -- atp ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
