It should have been something else, like .ARK. And for that, SEA should have probably taken legal action a long time ago. I know that PXARC turned out to be better, but the files still should have had a different extension! -- Craig Werner (future MD/PhD, 4 years down, 3 to go) werner@aecom.YU.EDU -- Albert Einstein College of Medicine (1935-14E Eastchester Rd., Bronx NY 10461, 212-931-2517) "Never go to a doctor whose office plants have died."
