It might be convenient to view each these transformations as operating on the output of the previous. I think you were. By doing so, it avoids replicating the description of the previous phase. Note that numbers are sometimes substituted for letters. Such as Gr8t and zer0, any1, me2, all41 and 14all. This argues for phoneming and/or spell-checking before ALPHA-ing. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials.
