"l'" can be either masculine or feminine. You see in french you "can't" have two vowels in a row, so they drop the "e" or "a" from le and la, and replace it with an appostrophy. On the other hand you don't have that with "un" or "une" and it's Un Unix. So it's masculine. Bijan -- Bijan Soleymani <bijan@psq.com> http://www.crasseux.com
