It may be my lack of experience in things IT or something to do with my age, but somehow I just can't get my head around this one. Probably too full with stochastic and deterministic seismic reservoir analysis, self-organizing matrices and neural networks. Thanks again, humbly :-) Douglas Brian Reid schrieb: > > >> I'll mail B:D. off-list and ask him to look if he's been bounced. > > > Please don't.
