I was afraid of that. The internal hash almost seems alphabetical. I have been working on a determinant routine and trying to improve the time (taking the determinant of a 30x30 matrix can be time consuming). This rearrangement hinders a line of attack. Oh well, back to the drawing board. Thanks, Raymond _______________________________________________ metacard mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/metacard
