I'd like to apply this algorithm to texts, and compare it with other methods. If there is anyone who knows where I can find the 'C'-sources of this method, please contact me. You can send me your answer directly by mail, or reply in this newsgroup. Derk Ederveen. BSO/Research, Derk Ederveen, ederveen@dlt1.uucp
