Thanks for replying. I am well aware that the image is too big, and any
suggestions on how to make it more manageable would be welcolme. If U play
arround with it and repost it, please acknowlege me as the originator.

U might find it easier to select the image and copy it to your computer.
Then U can play around with it more easily. To help U I'll explain how I
produced it.

I drew the original on A3 paper then reduced it down to A4 on a photocopier
which produced a reasonably legible diagram.

I scanned it using photostudio 5 then posted it to Geocities using Yahoo
Pagewizard. This produced a really tiny image so that U couldn't even see
what it was let alone read it. Then I tried Yahoo Page builder but that
wouldn't accept the file because it doesn't accept any spaces and I had
spaces in the name of one of the directories. Finally I Dragged the file to
my desktop and dragged it into the Easy upload window of Yahoo Pagebuilder
and that's how it came out. It should be A4-sized. I don't know why it went
like that.

I'm also interested to know if I've made any mistakes and it would be nice
to have a comprehensive list of the catenatives and where they go in the
diagram.

I'd have liked to have posted it with "Windows media and fax viewer"
or "Adobe" but I don't know how. I'd also like to have print rather than
writing. What would be really cool of course would be to start with no
writing and have the full list in a section come up when U click it. But I
wouldn't know where to start on sth like that.
