Yes, you should be ashamed of your self for continuing to post into this thread when you were asked by that very important person not to. Such people need to have their every whim catered too. If not they may may pout and that would be very bad, I think you would agree. -- -- kensmith(a)rahul.net forging knowledge

(Huge arithmetic, see the work of Prof. R. Crandall). Yes, that is the normal way to do it. I was pointing out a useless other option for you to consider. >However, the task in hand is an LLL which basically has n^3 >written all over it. You're always doing everything with >everything. "LLL" ???????????? I assume the interactions are nonlinear too.

This sounds like one of those "raster to vector" conversion sorts of tasks. In them, you need to follow the color boundary. -- -- kensmith(a)rahul.net forging knowledge |
