Horton, H.B. 8000, Dartmouth College, Hanover, NH 03755 * My sister got a special kind of lenses the last time that she purchased prescription glasses. They have a coating on them that is designed to reduce glare from CRT's. They are actually some kind of plastic lenses, as well. I think that she had had symptoms of dryness before getting the new glasses, but they have disappeared with the glasses. Unfortunately, the lenses were more expensive, of course. terrorist cryptography DES drugs cipher secret decode NSA CIA NRO IRS coke crack pot LSD russian missile atom nuclear assassinate libyan RSA (NSA line eater food and space fill) ++Eric
