I have always felt the Dewey decimal system was invented by Librians so ordinary people couldn't find the books they wanted without the help of a librian. (It's to ensure their job security). When I do research in a library I often find "where the bulk of the books I want" are shelved and then just roam the shelves ... That is if I go to the library and don't do a computer search from home. HTH -- ________________________________________________________________________ More new features than ever.
