RE: COCU Indexing Scheme (2004-2005)

[Lindsay Cullen]

Personally, while browsing through my copy of Knuth's "The Art of 
Computer Programming", I have come across a sophisticated hashing 
algorithm which I find useful for filing.

Begin by examining the title of the file. Isolate the first letter of 
the title and generate a hash key according to the following hash 
table:

A       1
B       2
C       3
D       4
E       5
F       6
G       7
H       8
I       9
J       10
K       11
L       12
M       13
N       14
O       15
P       16
Q       17
R       18
S       19
T       20
U       21
V       22
W       23
X       24
Y       25
Z       26
Repeat this process for each letter of the file title thus generating a 
matrix of hash keys associated with the file title.
Order your files with respect to their associated matrices.

This handy algorithm provides an unerring way to determine the 
appropriate ordering of any file whatsoever and makes retrieval a snap.

Personally, I reference files with this date format, that ensures that 
they
remain in date-time order.:
(yy)yymmdd
yy Year
mm Month
dd Day

and if necessary (-hhmmss)
hh Hour
mm Minute
ss Second
Note that the finest-grained detail (day / second) must be last, or 
they do
not remain in date-time order.

THEN, add the coding you suggest:
Ligurgical Sunday number
Type of document
Version number/letter/etc
Best wishes,
Peter

                Hello All,
		I've received a few email inquiries, asking me for the COCU
indexing
		numbers for the last half of Year C, and the full calendar
of Year
