Great point -- Daren's comment along with yours, lead to the following reference links. They may be of interest to you both. I must admit that the Arabic system should rightfully be called the “Arab-Indian” numerical system; and it appears the lions portion of it's development belongs to the Indians rather than arabs.

Geez guys -- every time I try to credit islam with something worthwhile, I get shot down with objective data. Next I'll probably learn the muslim arch was a refinement of Euclidian concepts. :^)

Any day I learn something is a good day; I've learned something this weekend. Thanks.
