Exclusive-or, XOR: an underlined \/, or in Boolean algebra, a plus in a circle. Better to say that /\ AND is "both.. and". It's a pity the meanings of the words in logic are this different from the english ones; no wonder most ppl don't manage to use Boolean search-engines (like Alta Vista) very effectively. t.
