I think I can see through your thinly veiled plot to win that Cobol book, and as no bribe was offered I'm going to have to refuse ;)<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 11/10/06, <b class="gmail_sendername">Tiest Vilee

<br>sounds like a great idea, as long as you give me the answers before<br>hand. So I can verify them. yeah. that's it. Verify.<br><br>On Wed, 11 Oct 2006 15:24:22 +0100, "Murray Steele"<br><<a href="mailto:murray.steele@gmail.com">
