I always sayed MessyDOS (and indeed, all things Gatesian) was a source of Corruption. If you still have the code in ASCII form, I'd be interested in having a look. Yes, I have a Dark History of BASIC programming, before I got to be an Ivory Tower theoretician.

Ah yes, the India analogue strikes again. Makes a certain amount of sense, particularly with respect to the importance of irigation. After all, DH isn't likely to be dry enough to need much extra water just to grow, say, wheat.
And Joerg says:

So they have the Basmati type, obviously? A lamb Kostaddi masalla please, waiter. Okay, it isn't golden, but it will be if we stick it in some saffron. Excuse me, I'm getting hungry...
BTW, believers in the inserted "u" may like to note that "Vorumai" is the (current) adjective of choice in Chapin & Ferguson circles. Of course, this, and indeed everything else, may be subject to change.
