DOM is the name of a priest or monk in France and the -livre element means "free." FREEMONK? Bet Barbara comes up with something. I went to Google, too. Nothing. Gary

DOM also refers to someone who lived near a cathedral, so you may be right, but don't look at me for more than that! <G> As far as my source books are concerned the name STILL doesn't exist! I suspect we need someone who speaks/reads the language to translate this for us.
