Vincent,

It just goes to prove the expression Vive la difference!

The translation of "Land Pattern" in my Lavoisier Technical Dictionary is:
"CONFIGURATION"

How and why in the world did the originator use "plage d'accueil"?

Is he/she out there in TechNet land?? Or is the use of English off-putting?

We are so much more better and clearer in our use of  language :>)

Regards,
Graham Naisbitt
