Hi Paul
its probably a mixture as some of the writers are FF and some are FC.

  I would not like to hassle Jacques as it will be an ongoing thing; memos and all that. Plus theres probably a confidentiality issue somewhere.

However its good to know that Jacques is a human.

Just tried using Altavista Babelfish and it struggled (bravely) with the technicalities, but died with the legalese.

Guess I need a French mistress.

Cheers

Steve

Steve, for tech work, you're better off having a human do the translating and then double-checking with the originator to make sure all is understood. Jacques can help you with this. I'm assuming it is French French, and not Quebec French.
