After that, you'd probrably be most comfortable coding in APL, which has guaranteed right to left evaluation. In APL, i_i+1,0 rho a[i] _ i does just exactly what you expect it to. Of course, nobody writes it that way in APL... (Oh, interpret the "_"s to be left arrows; anyone remember when teletypes had left arrows and not underscores?) --Darryl Richman, INTERACTIVE Systems Corp. ...!cca!ima!ism780!darryl The views expressed above are my opinions only.
