In the case of the surface code, some triangles are known but some are not. The problem I am having is with 'stitching' together the pieces. In 2D it is non-trivial, but works out OK. I have not been able to come up with a 3D implementation. Miguel ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: New Crystal Reports XI.
