Dear Doug et al,
I may have missed a crucial message but the

Dijkstra's Algorithm
This was devised by the great Dutch Computer
Scientist E.W. Dijkstra in 1959 for finding
the shortest distance betw

Hi Doug,
Look up "vehicle routing problem" and the following:

Your assumption is basically correct. The solution must
Sundiallists always know where they are, but do they know where they
