I'm trying to write a closed hash function for a table of size thirty one
and the key is a string which is "Lastname, First" up to 20 chars I was
wondering if anyone has any good hash functions or any suggestions, I've
tried a few from Weiss and when I go to find them, it doesn't always work.


Thanks

John
