Message-ID: <63195@linus.UUCP> Date: 9 Aug 89 19:17:42 GMT Sender: news@linus.UUCP Reply-To: rtidd@mitre.arpa Organization: MITRE-McLean Software Engineering Laboratory Lines: 26 I have two things that I need a little help on ... The first is a certain algorithm that i'm looking for, it's called fuzzy string-matching. Apparently you give it two strings and a percentage, and through various and sundry means it determines if the two strings are that percentage alike. A guy named Glenn Snow told me on CompuServe that the source was available in 8086 Assembly on a BBS local to me, but I only got through to it once in the past few weeks and didn't see the code on there. Does anyone know what i'm talking about, and does anyone have any code like this? The second is something that came up in a programming contest a while back. Write a program that will display an exact copy of its own source code. I'm not too sure but I think it had to be written in C or Pascal. Anyone?
