I've got 50 now. (At least, that's the score according to teven.pl from the last game. It looks like 51 to me, but I can never remember exactly what counts towards the score.) If we have to convert $ARGV[0], I get 55 if I have to output a trailing newline, and 52 if I don't. -- Stephen Turner, Cambridge, UK http://homepage.ntlworld.com/adelie/stephen/ "This is Henman's 8th Wimbledon, and he's only lost 7 matches."
