Here's an example problem which might help. You are working in an application domain which uses both sequences and sets. Sequences and sets may both contain other sequences and other sets. How do you tell if two sequences are equal? How do you tell if two sets are equal? (There is more than one way to implement this system, but some approaches will be simpler than others.) -- Raul ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
