	No correction for the specific gravity? I thing you'd better have another look at you idea. __________________ The reports of my death are greatly exaggerated.

	Since when does super "ctritical" CO2 have a "specic garvity" of 676? Who ever rates medium/large pumps to tenths of gpm? And what does "BB5" mean? __________________ In vino veritas; in cervisia carmen; in aqua E. coli.

	Phew! An error factor of 1000 is just so distressing... __________________ "Did you get my e-mail?" - "The biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place" - George Bernard Shaw, 1856
