Hi all

Imagine my shock when I got back on line and found the thread I started gone and a new format.
I can't even find any link to the archives so I can revisit what I said, and who contributed.

Anyhow, I promised an update on that thread.
I had to get the pearl routine translated (that's why they call me Dinosaur).
I think it was Mark_Larsen that contributed the table method.
It was the method I choose for a number of reasons.

I am using "Unreal" mode in Dos and so the amount of memory is not a problem.
As each contributor goes to add it's value to the list, I check if there is already a valid combination available during the addition loop.
I return the added value and the mask of contributor's to the calling program. (whether it wants it or not)
So each time another contributor has a value to contribute, a combination is returned. The calling program then decides which
of these is a useful one.

Anyhow, many thanks for the effort to all.

Regards
Dinosaur

It was actually Jibz's idea, not mine.  I didn't want to take credit when he was the one who came up with it.

Well it is a thank you to Jibz as well
