well, my little C++ program included every number from 0 to 254, so i don't have t worry about that. although, i did it only with integers, so many of the numbers would up the same after i finished all the math. also joe, thanks for all the help, made everything a lot easier for me, plus will make me somewhat extremely valuble on the team now.
make sure to drop by on thursday, to see the code in action (i hope)!
