Great. Now all we need is one of those translators, like the one that turns text into something the Muppet's Swedish Chef would say... :-). Cheers, RAH -- ----------------- R. A.

Odd - I've been receiving these in random order. Blame Canada, I guess. In case nobody's mentioned it, one of the predecessors to http://www.anonymizer.com/ was "The Great Web Canadianizer", which, y'know', turned web pages into mock Canadian, eh? At least the Saturday Night Live Frozen North version, eh? So you'cd have some brews n donuts while getting your web pages translated outa yankee and hidin where they come from, eh? It's also useful for dealing with the US crypto export laws. Let P and Q be big primes, eh? Thanks! Bill Bill Stewart, bill.stewart@pobox.com PGP Fingerprint D454 E202 CBC8 40BF 3C85 B884 0ABE 4639
