Thanks. I haven't looked at the book you suggest yet. But here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_line_(topology)
it is stared a more general result: that a 1-manifolds with boundary is
homeomorphic either to R or to the circle, or even to a closed or half-open R
interval.
Can anybody suggest where to find a complete demonstration of this more general
statement? Or maybe the demonstration reported by Prof. Lee can be easily
generalized?
Thanks for any help
Rodolfo
