Yeah we understand that, we're bilingual, we speak american as well as english and australian 8-). Here it would be "... with vim and vigour" 8-). However, my dictionary has a simple meaning for "vim". It says "Vigour". So to use that saying would be silly. I don't think we buy the product either. And I still use vi (vigor or no vigour). 8-) > Terry Lambert > -- John Birrell CIMlogic Pty Ltd jb@cimlogic.com.au; jb@netbsd.org 119 Cecil Street Ph +61 3 9690 6900 South Melbourne Vic 3205 Fax +61 3 9690 6650 Australia Mob +61 18 353 137
