Acronyms are "words formed from the letters of others". So "CB" need not apply, it is not a "word". Abbrevations are any form of shortening of words; this includes "comp.sys." or "CB". Casper -- Expressed in this posting are my opinions. They are in no way related to opinions held by my employer, Sun Microsystems. Statements on Sun products included here are not gospel and may be fiction rather than truth.
