And Germans say something close to "tzics". SuSE, in German, is a sound like "zooseh" - but the initial sound has something of the "tz" in it. The general rule in German is that you pronounce all of the letters, including (there aren't many) trailing Es. -- Phil Payne http://www.isham-research.com +44 7785 302 803 +49 173 6242039
