Chris:

I am assuming that this is some sort of school assignment.  I just want 
to say (and this is OT) that this points out just how different things 
have become since I've been in college.  We were expected (heck, we *had 
to*, under threat of expulsion) work on our assignments in private, by 
ourselves, with no outside assistance.  Simply posting your work and 
asking for comments would have been grounds for disciplinary action.

I would guess that you will have learned a lot more, and produced a far 
better "assignment" by the route you are taking today, than what I would 
have had to take some 25 years ago.

Not only that, you have many, many more "graders" than I had.  The 
wonders of open source, and best of luck to you.
