As far as I can see, it simply tells you what card it sees, and asks you if it is working. If it is, it tells you it is working. If it is not, it tells you it is not working. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail (<80k only): tim /at/ birdsnest.maths.tcd.ie tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 s-mail: School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland
