Fred,

You obviously need to read Giovanni's rain-breaking papers,

or

RF> Marola, Giovanni. (1982), "How to dive with an umbrella when it

BTW, Giovanni, one of the chief contributors to Scuba-L and Scuba-SE
on AI-dive computers, has been rather quiet lately.  He is also the
holder of many titles, all given in his sigs,

>Giovanni (USD President)
>_____
>Giovanni Marola
>Dept. of Information Engineering


USD is of course "Unable to Swim Divers).  :-)

One of these days, we'll have to rehash how to use the LISTSERV
archives to retrive ANYTHING about ANYBODY in these lists, within
a matter of seconds, for those who know how.  :-))
