Thank you to one and all who answered my call for smileys! I received about three copies of each of about three different dictionaries. If, on the off chance I actually find myself with some spare time, ;-), I might merge these lists and post them. Don't hold your breath. I also noted the appearance of ?:^7, but didn't see my personal favorite, (and evidently my own creation) =-( long faced Thanks again--Zandr -- Aleksandr Milewski = uunet!svcs1!mlevski = N6MOD = GEnie: ALEKSANDR "I think there is a world market for about five computers" --Thomas J.
