     Thanks but this is a real problem. The chineseish text (which we've since learned is not chinese) appears to be from some problem with the ATI Mach64 X windows server. Anybody with a solution, please respond.

     I can very well picture an IAL much like Esperanto but with many more similarities to Chinese. If I were to construct an IAL, I would probably go for a more Chinese-ish kind.

     The guy in question is Dr. Tsien (various other spellings have appeared) of CalTech, a colleague of Von Karman. He got zapped by the security mania of the early '50s, sent back to China, and there helped design the CSS-4 and -5, plus penetration aids. There's a book about him titled, IIRC, "The Dragon and the Silkworm." I'm not sure what the CSS-2 Silkworm has to do with it, other than it sounds somewhat Chineseish.

     Don´t worry, the others weren´t very "true" either... I mean Chucky has no apparent similarities with 2D...although I haven´t heard him sing, (but who knows, maybe his singing-voice could even match his bagpipe-play...). And since when is Contro a Chinese-ish, drooling, small person with a silly grin?
