Yes. There is also e.g. ASME Code as a set of rules for calculating stresses in mechanical parts... So when I say "I code code code" I am not having a strange hiccup, but I mean "I am writing (coding) a program (code) implementing stress calculation prescription (code)". I always thought that the usage was slightly strange. George -- >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> George M.
