Well, my questions are:

1. would it be truly faster, and if so, how much faster?
2. would it be easier to code?

COURSE I'm going to suggest alternate methods/algorithms. I expect ANYBOD=

who asks a question about EUPHORIA on this list would be willing to accep=

answers to the positive and/or negative, including suggestions for how to=

something differently than proposed. Since I wasn't clear on what you wer=

How about in the future you contact someone on the list and ask them to p=

suggestion for you? Then maybe you'll see all your wonderful ideas come t=

fruition!
