Sorry, I can't remember. I can take a look for you the next time I'm at
the library, though. Unfortunately, it's winter here and I don't have a
vehicle. Therefore, I have to catch the bus - which is a _REAL_ pain in
my butt... As a result it may be a bit before I can get over there.
Hmmm...It's almost the end of the month and they do sell bus passes at
the library; maybe I'll get over there a little sooner than I thought.
I'll take a look and let you know when I find out.
