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. tedd http://sperling.com/ _______________________________________________________ Thinking about buying Jewelry?
