- Doug, it's obvious that Matt knows that these functions are not part of
- the standard library. Matt is trying to find some reuseable code to bootstrap
- his implementation.
-
- Matt, Doug may be trying to say that you will find more satisfaction if
- you post your request in a newsgroup that is more focussed to your specific
- problem domain. There are calculator specific newsgroups. The way that
- I find these groups is to use AltaVista
-
- http://www.altavista.digital.com/
-
- to search "Usenet" (use the drop-down box to select "Usenet" ... the default is
- "the Web") for your interest ("calculators", for example). The search will return
- all recent posts to Usenet that contained that term, and it will indicate
- the name of the newsgroup for each post.
