Any such program has two main parts, one that trains the transition matrix from a data set, and one that generates output from that transition matrix. You should be able to take such a program and only use the latter component with your transition matrix, however you choose to create it. Googling for 'python markov' generates several leads. -- Robert Kern [EMAIL PROTECTED] "I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth." -- Umberto Eco -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
