You should have stressed very clearly much earlier in the thread that no tree is built. By the way, there is some in-between parameter between distance 2 and distance 3: * all distance 2-(Manhattan)-paths are allowed: nn, ee, ss, ww, ne, en, es, se, ... * among the distance 3-paths only those are allowed which do not have all three steps in the same direction: this rule would forbid only the four paths nnnn, eeee, sss, www would be forbidden. (Here n, e, s, w indicate the four basic directions "north", ..., "west".) Ingo. -- Psssst! Schon vom neuen GMX MultiMessenger gehört?
