I don't much care for either of these alternatives. Looking at the words here, 'Number' is convention and should be abbreviated, 'Of' is superfluous, and 'Accidents' contains the meat of the name. (Just to keep things down, I would omit the final 's' here, since it can be inferred from the 'Number' prefix.) This gives us NumAccident or nAccident, depending on which convention you use for 'Number'. -- Frank Adams ihnp4!philabs!pwa-b!mmintl!franka Ashton-Tate 52 Oakland Ave North E. Hartford, CT 06108
