I am pleased to have seen no attachment, for whatever reason it may be missing. It is not a good idea to send attachment to Usenet groups. I'm afraid that I could not meet the challenge suggested in some of what I deleted. That is -- I could not figure out what question *was* intended. Furthermore, I could not keep all the terms that were used, and convert them into a single, rational problem that would be asked in a simple class. (Did somebody switch a term or two?) So, Albert. It is possible that you did not convey the description in the first note; maybe you do have a proper solution for a proper problem. I don't see an attachment so I can't judge what you are now "solving." But there *was* no correct answer before, because it is a really bad idea to try to answer a question when the terms are so mis-stated or mis-used. -- Rich Ulrich, [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pitt.edu/~wpilib/index.html "Taxes are the price we pay for civilization."
