(0,1) is not a complete metric space by the definition
        every Cauchy sequence converges to a point.
However with a topologically equivalent, but not uniformly equivalent
metric, (0,1) can be mapped to R which is complete.

I read and compose off line for stuff that requires good answers.

For hot shot stuff, I flip it off, on line.  As it was, I downloaded
three of your hastily written posts and answered them when I was
intending to download the one with substance.  Oh well, I'll get to
it tomorrow.

No.

The uses of algebra I'm familiar with relate to vector spaces
and measure theory.

Beyond my reach.

No I'm not near a univerisy library and I've little success with google
books unless your suggesting I buy a copy.  That I can do thru Powell's
Books and have Kelley's 'General Topology' and Steen's 'Counterexamples in
Topology'.

As you see, cancelled messages do get through.

Kelly claims a G_delta within a complete metric space is homeomophic to a
complete metric space.  Gives suggestions how to construct the
homeomorphism.
