Re: VMs: Mad Kircher, was (lots)

	Thanks.  One more question.  I think Jacques said once
that 600 ducats was ~22 troy ounces pure gold.  I got
the impression that "ducat" might have referred to
several  different monetary units, and thus, the "600
ducats" might not have been 22 tr oz gold, but
something much less, say, 1/4 tr oz silver, depending
on context.  Am I right?
