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 hang an n-element chain, every n>=1?

Anyone having proofs for or against or examples for or against, please contact me by mail at mhuxa!rgh1. Any and all help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. R.G. Hamm BTL
