No.

All very true.  Get yourself one of those "rough guides" to eastern European
countries, the ones with addresses and telephone numbers of hotels.  You can
phone from Poland or Hungary and book in.  They will know where to get gas.
You could also tank up in Hungary where it is plentiful.  Rumanian gas is
dirty, the locals filter it through a funnel filled with cloth or zinc mesh.
A jerrican is a useful item.

Happy motoring.

It surprises me that 100 Lei = $0.33.  I was under the impression it 
that it was more like 10-20 Lei per $1.00.  Has the Leu been devalued

I don't understand something here - do "three enterprises" make up 
"30% of state property"?
Also according the numbers above 4.3 mln certificates at 100,000 Lei
divided by  (100 * $0.33)  gives  about   $1.5 billion.   I find it hard
to believe that 30% of state property is worth only 1.5 billion U.S. dollars.
Maybe you meant 3% instead?

The Romanian National Agency for Privatization (NAP) issues certificates
of ownership over a period of 180 days (started on June 1,1992). All
Romanian citizens aged 18 years and over as of Dec.31, 1990 are entitled
to hold a certificate. Each certificate holder may either retain their 
indirect shares (in each of the five Private Ownership Funds) or buy direct 
shares in enterprises. 6,000 enterprises are going to be privatized. As 
only 30% of the shares are given away to Romanian citizens,the remaining
70% will be held in the State Ownership Fund (SOF) which is expected to 
sell off at least 10% of assets held every year.

P.S. The certificates of ownership are similar with the vouchers used
in Czeckoslovakia.

People must have had Romanian citizenship at that time (31.12.1990). One
can have residence in a country and still have another citizenship.

Organization: Stanford Linear Accelerator Center

Several of you have asked how to define Romanian characters for WordPerfect,
and I will now tell you how I did it:

[from the 'Keyboard layout' entry in the Reference section of the manual]
Press shift-f1
Select Keyboard layout
Select Create from the setup
Give it a name [like Romanian, for instance]
  [the new keyboard layout will appear on the screen]
Select Create
Select a key combination [ctrl-q for instance]
Describe the meaning of the key  [a with upside down hat, or a cu
                                  caciula in sus, for instance]

[from Appendix P: WordPerfect characters]
Define the key combination [type ctrl-v (twice) and 1,91, i.e. the 91th
                            character in Character set 1]
Type f7 to exit from the definition mode until you get back to the empty
   screen.
Type ctrl-q and you will see an   a    on the screen.
Type ctrl-f7 followed by   v   to view the screen as the printer would see
   it, and you will see an a with an upside down hat.  [the regular video
   driver cannot display it]

Experiment a little, and when you find that this works, you can do
the same thing for all the other characters you need, the  tz  sh
and so on, and use that keyboard whenever you type in Romanian.

You can also call WordPerfect support if you get stuck, they are very
very helpful and nice.

People want the US dollar, so those who have the leu are willing to pay
a little more for it when they can get it.  Suply and demand, sort of.
Romanian want the US dollar so they can use it to buy foriegn goods,
not too many people will accept the leu, but almost everyone will take
the US dollar.

To go from US$ --> leu is cheap, but the other way round is more expensive.

No one ever said it was wrong. This was the point I was trying to make in my
earlier articles. The liberal movements in Judaism have a different belief in
the source of the halacha. If you *believe* that both the Oral and the Written
Law *are* the word of G-d, then the Orthodox viewpoint is a natural end
result. And it should be so. But it is only a belief, we have no way of
knowing that we haven't gotten it all wrong, and maybe the cannibals didn't
have it right after all. We have only our beliefs.

Well, the liberal movements have a different belief in the source of the laws,
which has a direct implication on the ability to change these laws. I wouldn't
want to send my child to a school where the fundamental beliefs differed
either. 

Folks, you should be upset only when a person is inconsistant with their
beliefs. *NOT* when their beliefs are consistant and differ with yours.

I've been on the receiving end of the "Let's Beat Up The Liberal Movements"
stick for years. I've seen more and more knowledable, committed Jews *leave*
this forum because of the bashing and intolerance. NO ONE is expecting you to
change your belief system. You shouldn't be intolerant of someone elses. And
the treatment you show Nora is disgraceful.

Sigh. Things never change.

I'm going to assume that David is playing the "devil's advocate" in order
to assess the seriousness of what Aaron reports. If what Aaron reports
is true, then one should not use the normal standard of assessing behavior
to evaluate Malek's alleged acts. In Government work--which is where I work--
we are repeatedly directed--in writing and in speech--to act above and beyond
the normal standards of honest behavior; we are not permitted to do anything
that has the appearance of wrong-doing.  The existence of a list itself
may give the appearance of wrong-doing, so further questions as to its use
are--in the contexts I have seen of evaluating gov't officials behavior--
superfluous.  Of course, one must ask on whose payroll was Malek at the
time of compiling the reported list?

Let's stop beating up on Jackson for the Hymie remark. It really isn't  
important when compared to his embrace of Arafat, or his failure to  
denounce Farakahn, or that Chicago screwball who claims that Jewish  
doctors infected Black children with AIDS. Those are some of the really  
important issues in Black-Jewish dialouge not the Hymietown stupidity.
