This does not make sense. In the case of greek letters used for listing things (either ordered or just simple lists) I have NEVER seen simple alphabetic order lists. Of course in greek text, and I think that the name of such a system should not be called greek. If it is important to include such a simple order system, than there should be a second 'greek style' which will be implemented as used in greek text. -- ====================================================================== Stefanos Karasavvidis Electronics & Computer Engineer e-mail : stefos@ced.tuc.gr Technical University of Crete Department of Electronics & Computer Engineering Laboratory of Distributed Multimedia Information Systems and Applications (MUSIC) http://www.music.tuc.gr University Campus 73100 Chania - Crete - Hellas Tel : +30 821 0 69737
