The 2nd one I understand, I think, but what is this Sonderausgabe >thing? ... the text is german and means ... "The latest special edition." "The ASCII special beetle." "Sonderausgabe" is just the same as "special edition". "Sonder..." means "special". We germans build up compounds of words much more than english speakers do. So we put in one word what you need two words for. Thus - very easy now - "beetle" stands for "kaefer" =) Best, Paul -- .odbo. .od88888888bo.
