You're welcome to take the C++ code from that Ask Dr. Math conversation and add it to your Pascal library. Please just give us proper attribution (in comments?) and clearly identify that code as a resource of David Peterson and The Math Forum @ Drexel, and not something of your own creation. On this reply, Bart, I've "Bcc:"ed Doctor Peterson, so that he may appreciate your interest. Let us know how this helps you, FreePascal, and the greater Lazarus community. -- Richard Tchen The Math Forum @ Drexel 3210 Cherry Street Philadelphia, PA 19104-2713 tel1: (215)895-1787 tel2: (800)756-7823 facs: (215)895-2964 The Math Forum @ Drexel (http://mathforum.org/) is a research and educational enterprise of The Drexel University School of Education (http://goodwin.drexel.edu/soe/).
