Sorry, allow me to clarify for everyone: I wrote to Eugene making an offer of some ideas, but I never included them in the email for good reasons (namely they won't be "wasted"). Eugene didn't think he needed them, and never asked me to email the ideas to him. So, they are still available to be inflicted upon the TPR competition players in the future ;-) > > > If it's the first, I'd be willing to send them in for a nominal > > > fee. > > > > Hold onto them... the "golfing" problem space has a constant size, > > aparently.

It's probably true to some extent as our population starts becoming interested in Curling :P Jonathan Paton __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
