I certianly hope not. It would be awfully advanced for CS1 or CS2 homework. Plus
generally no-one cares how fast their school projects run, as long as the right
answers come out within half an hour or so.

Still, you have to find it odd that the second message (the flame-bait) was
posted by the same person who posted the first one. Even more interesting is
that the first message never appeared on my newsserver. I just figured that
Sergio's first message never got out, but he thought it was being ignored. So to
ensure a good response, he posted a follow-up with the entire content quoted,
and nothing but flame-bait added.

But the first posting was still a reasonable question, which deserves a
resonable answer. Others out there are probably curious about the same thing. I
hope we can all strive to keep it as civil as Marin has, despite the flame-bait.


Perhaps it would be of some help to Sergio and others in the future if we can
get a good short example posted on AdaPower in the source code treasury.
