Think of it like this. If I have an equation like Y = Sin(x) it will generate a nice oscillating curve. Now try and take a more complex curve and work out the equation that generated it. Its not at all so easy. So its quite easy to go from equations to curves, its a lot more difficult to go from curves back to equations and not simply a matter of reversing a formula. -- Ian Lynch <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ZMSL --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
