Sorry--I said the opposite of what I meant to. I meant to say that since, in the example, B is only 1/10 of the way from C to A, then I'd guess it would be better to rank B below A, instead of equal to A. So, by my guess, the best ranking would be: 1. A 2. B Mike Ossipoff ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
