isn't that spelled "dioxide" in english ? googling for "dioxid" brings up band homepages, obviously misspelled pages, and non-english pages (it's spelled dioxid in swedish, for example) -- and this page: http://www.morewords.com/word/dioxid/ which says that dioxid is a valid word, and tells me to click on a number of dictionary links to verify that. those links all lead to "not found; per- haps you meant dioxide?" pages... </F> -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
