That's funny. And if it wasn't a joke ... It'll do that if you look for relays as a sub category under Semiconductors. Step back a page and look in the 'R's.

Recursive indexes! Gettemoff, gettemoff, gettemoff! Seriously though, that's funny. Like the Borland manual that had this gem: Infinite Loop... (see Loops, Infinite) Loops........... Infinite......

Yep, this is correct. But it stumped a few of us for a couple minutes, so we just thumbed through the catalog to find the correct pages.

>My favorite one is in Knuth's Volume 1, look up recursion. Heh, on another mail list someone's sig line goes "To understand recursion you first have to understand recursion". Haven't seen Knuths volume, but assume he says something similar?

Sigh... Brain Fade. Its not Knuth (just checked it). Not sure where I saw it now but in the index, recursion had an entry that gave the page number that had the index entry. nerd humor at it highest... Sorry, got my facts wrong. Phil --- "Alan B.
