Troy,

Thanks for the answers to my question.  I've got some other thoughts and 
responses buried below.

Cheers,

Bobby

Doh!  I missed the asterisk entirely.  Shame on me for letting my C/C++ 
skills deteriorate so badly :-(

Uh oh.  This might cause problems since Java arrays are constant size 
once defined.  I'll look at implementing as Vectors instead.

Since Java doesn't have unsigned variable types, I'll probably have to 
do something slightly different here.   Shouldn't be too hard, though. 
 "Small hurdle for a high stepper" as my Mom was fond of saying during

Yes, it helps tremendously!  Now, I'll be able to get my arms around the 
rest of the code and at least have a conceptual understanding of what 
the author's intent was.  That's always the toughest challenge, in my 
opinion.

Thanks,

Bobby
