Hi Ted, I will look at this. It also seems like it might be a good idea to pick up my Mastering Perl book next time I am in MN and start reviewing it.
What did you think about the Perl for Bioinformatics book? There was also an AI book that I remember you mentioning - this is also not the first time I have forgotten the name of it. I should start a list on Amazon to keep track of them. Thanks!
