G'day all
Thanks, Graeme. Does that mean that a recursive function with *lots* of big
sequences and recursed *lots* of times will eat up heaps of memory? My poor
old P166 16Mb beast goes from slow to s...l...o...w after looping around
one of these things for a while. I guess running out of RAM will do that :)
