 How do, Archie?

 AS> [hack]
 AS>> Hydrogen Peroxide isn't a fuel, it's an Oxidant.  So, by

 JB> ...Or something along those lines.

 AS> It's *possible* that you're thinking of the Walter "bi-fuel"  
 AS> rocket engines - T-Stoff plus Z-Stoff was the "bi-fuel".
 AS> T-Stoff was their naming for Hydrogen Peroxide plus additional  
 AS> water.
 AS> Z-Stoff was Calcium Permanganate solution.  That was combined  
 AS> with the H2O2 in the thrust chamber to produce the thrust.

It's *possible* you nailed it! <BG>

 AS> It wasn't too stable. :(

 AS> Nyet!

Zone two is Europe then?

Like I said to CA, I do have a mobility issue. When logged onto the I-Net at 
the library, they only give me a one-hour/day limit so I try to pester the 
echoes for as much info as I can. /-:

Sorry for any inconvenience.
