Well, for not having done that, E? and such would be correct, or at least that's my understanding. Anyways, that looks good, but I'd like to see more of the non-extant values filled in. And mayble Loglanging should just go from L++ to L--, moving the 4+ and 4- categories to those positions. I can't really think of that much more that could fit in there without making excessive divisions in the spectrum. Ooh, and one more thing - under C, there should be one for high school student - or maybe CST should be extended to include high school students - that's what I'll do for now. Oh, and for eyesight, maybe remove E and let one specify for their left & right eye one after another, inside the colon - say, NS (in my case). One more - Maybe make "s--" something like "There's the odd difficult cluster, but let's not go nuts." Just thinking up some suggestions, use them at your discretion. That said, my code is: CST v1.1 !l§ cS:R:E:H a+ y n16:1 B+ A? E L- N1 Ic/m/p/v k ia---:+ p s-- m o++ P S- Ajuk All in all, version 1.1 is lookin' good. Certainly does what it's supposed to. -- Robert
