> "relating to or being a mathematical quantity which is not zero > and > which when applied to itself under a given binary operation (as > multiplication) > equals itself; also: relating to or being an operation > under which a mathematical quantity is idempotent" I've only seen the term used in technical papers on databases. I think this has a similar meaning, but its not that clear! It's probably safest to avoid the term entirely. -- David Woolley - Office: David Woolley <djw@bts.co.uk> BTS Home: <david@djwhome.demon.co.uk> Wallington TQ 2887 6421 England 51 21' 44" N, 00 09' 01" W (WGS 84)
