Thanks to the preson who posted the diagram of 2,3,7,8 tetrachloro dibenzyl
para di-oxin. (I think that is how it is written!)  But how do the numbering
schemes get 2,3,7,8?  How are the ``terminal nodes'' on the carbon backbones
(or the carbon backbones themselves) numbered in a compound like this?  And
shouldn't the rings be shown as a ``resonance structure''? (or should they?)
