Thanks Quantum! We had a party up in Palo Alto after M38 was discovered. Dr. Knuth showed up late, devoured an enorrrrmous chimichanga with the enthusiasm of one who had been fasting for days, regaled us briefly with an account of a search algorithm he had been working on, then paid his bill and left before anyone could take it from him. Last in, first out. Only with great difficulty did I restrain myself from falling prostrate before the man and wailing: I'm unworthy! I suck! spike _______________________________________________ Prime mailing list [email protected] http://hogranch.com/mailman/listinfo/prime
