It reads like 'a is (not b)', but actslike 'not (a is b)'.  When I want to check for non-identity, I always usethe form 'not (a is b)'.--Rainer Deyke (root at rainerdeyke.com)Shareware computer games           -http://rainerdeyke.com"In ihren Reihen zu stehen heisst unter Feinden zu kaempfen" - Abigor
