Yep. Of course, I've just done a BAD THING. Once Robert understands the Euclidean algorithm, he should get much "improved" fits... :-) Jerry

Its' a good exercise for you, but lost upon him. Robert's misunderstandings lie far elsewhere. But showing him up and giving him a better 'fit' just might put him in his place. It doesn't matter though, I'm far bored with him and his endless babble about dogs so he's in the killfile everywhere except sci.physics.research. Curiously enough, 70% of the traffic to the public groups is now filtered by my killfile.
