So the literal "20001225" has, at least, two denotations? Does this invalidate this definition? Do you mean `unique denotation'? If you don't, how does this definition stay valid? As I suggest, I think I may be completely off-track in asking this. -- Martyn Horner <martyn.horner@profium.com> Profium, Les Espaces de Sophia, Immeuble Delta, B.P. 037, F-06901 Sophia-Antipolis, France Tel. +33 (0)4.93.95.31.44 Fax. +33 (0)4.93.95.52.58 Mob. +33 (0)6.21.01.54.56 Internet: http://www.profium.comReceived on Monday, 8 October 2001 09:03:11 EDT
