I like "purge", although "except", "exclude", and "omit" all have their charms. For partition function, I like "divvy", "carve", "segment" (in that order) and almost anything other than "separate", which IIRC is one of the most misspelled words in English. =============================================== Mark Leighton Fisher [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thomson multimedia, Inc.
