If you can come up with a better method than brute-force, then of course that should definitely be something that you go with first. I just wanted to encourage people not to get too disheartened and give up too easily, when the only method left that they can come up with is the worst-case scenario -- because in practice, the worst-case sometimes looks a lot worse than it really is. -- Brad Knowles <b...@shub-internet.org> LinkedIn Profile: <http://tinyurl.com/y8kpxu> _______________________________________________ Tech mailing list Tech@lists.lopsa.org http://lists.lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tech This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
