I believe that Fleming made the patent for penicillin public, which delayed development for many years. No drug company wanted to invest the $ on development and clinical testing when anybody else could ride on the investment and undercut their prices. A sure route to bankruptcy. This is a system design issue. You guys are argueing about waves, not wave-generation mechanisms. Lew -- Lew Glendenning rlglende@netcom.com "Perspective is worth 80 IQ points."
