Humm, I'd have to see a little code to see what it is exactly you
are trying to do, but I have no time to look at it today. This is
a pretty small array, however. Why don't you just break the problem
up into (20?) pieces that you know how to deal with and do it in
a loop? It may cost you 0.000348302 seconds of processing time,
but it would be finished by the end of lunch today. :-)

Cheers,

David
