The difficulty with cobbling something together from someone else's code for a complicated algorithm like this is that by the time you've figured out how it works well enough to make the modifications you need, you might just as well have rolled your own. You'd be sure to get what you wanted from it and, from what I've seen of some of the C sources available to do this, I'd end up with something much more readily understood and maintained. Unless someone can point me at a package that provides the ops I need, I think I'm going to get stuck rolling my own. Pity. :-( MDC -- ====================================================================== Marin David Condic - Quadrus Corporation - http://www.quadruscorp.com/ Send Replies To: m c o n d i c @ q u a d r u s c o r p . c o m Visit my web site at: http://www.mcondic.com/ "Take away the punchbowl just when the party gets going" -- William McChesney Martin, Former Fed chairman, explaining what a sound central bank must always do. ======================================================================
