Perhaps Bron could make available some test data. Miller's fsm is leaner but equivalent to mine, and I'm equally curious to know which results were not according specs.

Assume y ends with LF I belive trim, as defined below, is equivalent to fw2dl for the cases where y ends with LF. If not, I'd be very interested in the case where this does not hold.

My broken email client is not rendering it that way, but past experience leads me to believe that it will probably be distributed in a fashion which lends itself towards that end. If not, perhaps pasting the code into J will be adequate... -- Raul ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
