Your English is just the same as mine. It sounds like Foxpro Language which is much clearer than Assembly or C... :<)

>>Thanks in advance! Chinese foods are really great. We just went there last February 18-20, 1998, and I do not know when will be the next trip. Maybe I'll just inform you by e-mail, not because of the dinner (better if there is, just kidding..), but rather I want to have some friends their in Hongkong.
