-
- I have unfortunately misplaced the most recent discussion regarding the
- fast log(N) algorithm for finding the first bit set in a word from a given
- end.
-
- I would most appreciate it if some kind soul could send me email with a
- summary of that discussion, including an outline of algorithm. A pointer
- to an ftp site would suffice.
-
- Thanks,
