Ken:

Of course the Huffman code can be implemented in FB code. In fact, there
are almost a unlimited number of high-level routines/concepts that could be
rendered into FB -- which I could do and would love to do, but I don't have
the time to do. Unfortunately, I have to work for a living.

You see, I have literally hundreds of dollars of algorithm books which
cover so many beautiful topics and concepts (not to mention the wonderful
world of AI stuff). These concepts/functions could: 1) Make our lives so
much simpler; 2) Bring our coding into the realm of high-level professional
stuff; 3) And, make our applications supper fast for doing large volume
work. Not to mention learning how these things are done with style and
elegance. I would love to do that and to explain how those concepts work,
but I don't have the time. I sure wish that I was rich -- I could easily
spend the rest of my days converting high-level concepts to
easy-to-understand examples.
