I'm not sure programs necessarily fit in the former category. What about games? I've been messing with dosemu lately, trying to get some old games up, so I've got on my desk here: "Masters of Orion II: Battle at Antares", and "Dune II: The Building of A Dynasty". > Taking one example from my bookshelf: I'm not saying that subtitles can't be descriptive, I'm saying that they're not necessarily descriptive. That's not their primary role. Consider: "Homicide for Dummies: A Reference for the Rest of Us". Anyway, as the Dune II example shows, even professional commercial publishers don't always follow the rules for capitalization in subtitles. :) Anyway, I have the feeling that this dead horse has learned all he's gonna, so I guess I'll stop flogging him now. cheers -- Chris Waters | Pneumonoultra- osis is too long [EMAIL PROTECTED] | microscopicsilico- to fit into a single or [EMAIL PROTECTED] | volcaniconi- standalone haiku -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
