Excellent work

Execellet work as always.

Much of the math talk was lost on me (excuse the pun), but the final
result is great!

***** A perfect answer and outstanding explanation!

Excellent description and summary!

Well done. $5 tip for you!

Perfect mathtalk, thank you for your hard work. :)

I have nothing but excellent Recommendations.

Excellent work, and on a timely fashion.

Great answer I haven't had a chance to go through all of it but it
looks to be really well writtten and you did a really great job.

Many thanks mathtalk-ga, i think that wraps it up for me. Shame there
doesnt seem to be any cheap simple optic-fibre device that can be fed
into inaccessible spaces. Perhaps someone will spot this q and invent
one!

Excellent to work with.

AS USUAL, GREAT.  THANKS!!!!

GREAT

Thanks! I'll close it now. 

Anyone who has time to provide a very brief ansert to a couple very
quick q, much appreciated: In Borland Builder, Project->Options, there
is a "Tasm" page which has an option to "generate listing", including
"cross reference", and "symbol tables information". I assume cross ref
will give me what I need. Is this listing typically generated inside
the obj file? If so, how do I view it? How precisely would I call a
function once I know the mangled name? Please provide a very quick
example? Finally, can I pass parameters, eg char, boolean in to
mangled functions? Thanks again

mathtalk-ga solved a very difficult problem and we truly appreciate
his help and education.

Thanks!!

Great, just what I needed to know to compare classifier results. When I asked 
this question to people who know about classifiers, they didn't know... :-).
Thank you very much.

Dear mathtalk-ga,

Thank you VERY much for answering my question!

So now I have the pleasurable task to go look at all 
those books.  I hope I can find most of them!

Sincerely,
wondering-ga

Thanks for the proof--I think it's easier for beginning
students to understand it by using the fact that the 
vertical angles AMB and DMC are congruent so that triangles 
AMB and DMC are congruent, CAM and CDM are congruent by 
transitivity, ACD is isosceles, etc. etc.

That way I don't need to introduce concepts of parallel 
lines, quadrilaterals, etc. and can just focus on triangle 
theorems.

Thanks a bunch, mathtalk-ga!

Great work!

I've got exactly what I asked for, and as a bonus some extra info of
the traditional way of measuring sunlight.

Thanks mathtalk-ga, and may be the sun be with you :-)

Very thourough, with lots of great clarifications

Perfect. Your function works great, the explination is thourough. Fast
answer, fast algorithm. Best money I've spent in a long time.

Despite of my initially incomplete question (forgot to mention
Oracle-8) I ended up with a good solution after a few clarifications.
Thanks!

I'd sure like to crawl in Mathtalk's brain for a day.  My answer
turned out to be fairly involved, but he broke it down step by step
not only providing the answer, but also the reasoning behind the
answer.

Upon testing his answer operates exactly as expected, and allows my
application to run real time instead of batch.

Thanks!

I think mathtalk has nailed it.

Thamls mathtalk.  The answer was complete and thorough.  This is the
first time i've used Google Answers and i'm amazed with the results.

Thank you once again, mathtalk-ga for your wonderful explanations and
personal conclusions on the subject.  I also found the links you
provided very helpful.  Some of the suggestions you made sound very
intriguing for further follow-up.  Thanks again for all the work you
did on my behalf.

Excellent. Thank you!
