That's not the one I was referring to. How about the one, then, where military members get free health care provided by military clinic staff? That one is actually a big win because it's important to keep a large military medical staff available in case of war and it keeps them trained. Also, of course, it's in the military's best interest to keep their soldiers leathy. --scott -- "C'est un Nagra. C'est suisse, et tres, tres precis."
