It's pretty stupid to choose known dead-end in the first place. You could as well choose steam engines to build upon. And as noted previously, trying to solve 100% tasks is usually either too pricey or virtually impossible. You just make the same impression as a b^Hman who would try to implement complex system using only in-place error handling but not exceptions. Google up "פעית", you might finally see how solving tasks partially might suddenly be a huge benefit to solving them completely in the end. PS: one might also try to focus e.g. on brain, I think it might be somewhat more relevant. :} -- ---- WBR, Michael Shigorin ------ Linux.Kiev http://www.linux.kiev.ua/
