The "please do not respond" requirement tends to stifle responses. (Wait a week to solve a five minute problem? The effort involved in the scheduling of the response winds up being significantly higher than the response itself.) (The ambiguities in the task itself sometimes exaggerates that issue. The effort involved in going back and re-reading each post in this thread to find the complete problem statement -- which was spread out over several posts -- is also significantly higher than the amount of effort needed to implement a solution to the problem.) -- Raul ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
