Like de foxtrot (the dance not the flag) came from a certain dancer named Harry Fox, the "renard" (with a d) takes its name from the foxy Captain Renart (with a t) who introduce the use of this apparatus in France. It's the French name of the traverse board. For the fun, In French foxtrot is spelled Fox-trot. -- ___________________________________________________ Play 100s of games for FREE! http://games.mail.com/
