(- or +) may come handy later for other things. And BTW double characters are already there in addresses. We could use semicolon(;) (I for some reason do not like it). So we have 2 proposals: 1) .. (2 votes) 2); (1 vote?) The tally is on! (untill tomorrow) Julo "Rod Harrison" <rod.harrison@windriver.

I don't care what it is, any character will do, but having only one there is slightly easier to parse that having two. - Rod -----Original Message----- From: owner-ips@ece.cmu.edu [mailto:owner-ips@ece.cmu.edu]On Behalf Of Julian Satran Sent: Wednesday, March 20, 2002 5:05 PM To: ips@ece.cmu.edu Subject: Dear colleagues, I suggested using : (colon) to separate values in a range. Unfortunately : is overused (in addresses and in names). I suggest we use the (old) two dots (..) to mark a range. Comments? Julo
