Hi Alan,
A maths expert I am not, but a Locksmith I am. I work with numbers and 
permutations all the time, it doesn't seem that difficult to me to 
create a routine to list (perhaps to a text file) all the 6 number 
variations of a 1 to 49 game.
If this is of any help contact me and i'll explain further. Or maybe I 
miss read your 1st question.

Thanks
Tony Steward
