I tried leading and trailing blanks but only the below is "telling", of what I'm not sure...? If any % are removed it won't work. (?)

A new balloon fabric - MERFAB - is used. Because of its very light weight and high strength, MERFAB allows the construction of balloons with extreme altitude performance. Objectives of this balloon design include launching ease, along with reasonable cost and good reliability. One intent of the concept is to allow one man launching in elevated winds. Recent flight experiences have indicated very satisfac tory results.] ElecAccess[ http://libraryDatabases/Balloon/Data/BT1034.12.pdf Avail_From[ WFF/BTL | +----------------+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ 2 rows in set (0.02 sec) mysql> -- MySQL General Mailing List For list archives: http://lists.mysql.com/mysql To unsubscribe: http://lists.mysql.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]
