As I've seen recently, there are many speed-obsessed people in the >list, so I'll probably ask for help to speed it up in January :) What algorithm did you use ? Or did you make up your own ? If so, chances are it can get pretty speed with Euphoria. Most algorithm use some sort of 'I already have this written down somewhere' and need to 'find' it. A finding procces can usually be sped up a lot using hash-tables, esspecially in Euphoria you can do *that* pretty fast. Ralf
