If searching through a list of names, you could also shift by +-1 place in the first letter (max +-13, if it rolls A-Z Z-A, then +-1 in the second letter. It might or might not help to skip absent combinations (few names begin Qg, for example). -- (c) John Stockton, nr London, UK. ?@merlyn.demon.co.uk Turnpike v6.05. Website - w.
