A friend of mine is writing a play based on a story written by a woman in a steel town during the industrial revolution. I don't remember the title of the story, but it contains the world "korl", which was a by-product of the steel-making process. I say "was" because I can't find the word "korl" in my dictionary (Webster's 2nd), so it's possible that current steel-making techniques don't produce korl. Does anyone know the origin of this word? Some clues are that the author of the story was Welsh, and korl was a soft and porous material that was used for carving. -- Jeff Lichtman at rtech (Relational Technology, Inc.) aka Swazoo Koolak
