Would not it vent itself automatically as oxygen is added to the breathing bag when the ppO2 goes down? --------------------Pour la Republique Francaise du Quebec-------------------- The fact that the Communists won the elections in Russia show how the *PEOPLE* think about the "system" the rabid entrepreneurs have been shoving down their throat.
