Peter writes code in MS Word, so it qualifies as "designer's code" ;-) Liviu

I did some 4 years of Russian some (many) years ago :-) But enough to know how the original names are spelled in Russian. And in fact they also sort close in Romanian (both are transliterated the same, I guess Romanian did not change the transliteration rules) -- Mihai Nita [Microsoft MVP, Visual C++] http://www.mihai-nita.net ------------------------------------------ Replace _year_ with _ to get the real email
