Request help on lattice problem
I submitted this once,  but got no response so I am trying one more time.
Can anyone out there provide assistance on the following:


       1. Does there exist an infinite distributive lattice such that
          every chain is finite?

       2. Does there exist a distributive lattice having no infinite
          chain, but having an N element chain, every N >= 1?

An example, or counterexample for each of these would be greatly
appreciated. Thanks in advance. Respond by mail at mhuxa!rgh1.
