Kent and Alan,<br>
<br>
Thank you both for providing me with tools I can use to develop the sort<br>
portion of my algorithm. They are invaluable. I really appreciate Luke's<br>
willingness to examine and advise on the full algorithm and once it is<br>
written (only the function that determines distance between two points<br>
is written and working) I will definitely add it to pastebin and ask for<br>
your suggestions as well as the suggestions and comments from the group.<br>
<br>
Again, thank you for your help.<br>
