Texas CS Dept., Austin, Texas Lines: 13 [] Yes, of course. GP and PG are the same thing. The original MPAA ratings were: G, GP, R and X. G meant general and GP meant general but parental guidance suggested. The letters were later reversed to make it more mnemonic (Parental Guidance). That's all there was to it, no chance in meaning. The change occurred about 10 years ago (when I was in high school). You still see the GP rating on old posters and prints. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ron Hitchens hitchens@ut-sally [Never try to teach a pig to sing, it [.UTEXAS, domain of the wastes your time and it annoys the pig.] Mayan SUN worshippers]
