An amenity is something pleasant that adds to one's comfort. It will be quite handy to have it around for doing things that I now use Basic, Awk and (occasionally & with great pain) C. It will be modern and functional instead of antiquated and balky. A real amenity. -- Charles Wells, Department of Mathematics, Case Western Reserve University 10900 Euclid Avenue, Cleveland OH 44106-7058, USA Phone 216 368 2880 or 216 774 1926 FAX 216 368 5163
