general modulo-question

[Christian Kruggel]

Hi!

I try to do some basic programming and got stuck with the
modulo-operator an the problem how to shift any number n into the
interval [b;e] with b < 0 and e > 0.

My first approach was to calculate the spread of [b;e] by e - b and then
to divide n by this spread. Unfortunately this just works for numbers
that are already in [b;e] while other numbers smaller than b and greater
than e are not shifted correctly.

Has anybody programmed such calculation already and could give me a
helping hint?

Christian

Debian packages 1.4. Pretty please?

I really, really don't mean to be a pest, but PLEASE, could someone 
package up java 1.4.1 as a debian package, for use on deb stable?  I 
asked this a month or two ago and was told that it would get taken care 
of by someone on the blackdown team (Juergen, I believe) very soon.

Thanks,
Avi Cherry
