A shorter one reads: "the five boxing wizards jump quickly" but this is irrelevant, because the reason for these sentences is an *easy* way to try all letters on a typewriter (real words type faster than simply the entire alphabet, so I am told). If you really want to provide a good type sample you have to include "difficult" words like AVIATOR (A next to V) and such, as someone else pointed out earlier (I forgot who s/he was, sorry). If you just want to show all letters of the alphabet "abcd..." would suffice. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Caspar Terheggen +31 80 612800 caspar@sci.kun.nl U634008@HNYKUN11 -------------------------------------------------------------------------
