Re: [lug] Anyone know of any Sr Network Eng positions?

Not sure why I looked at this one, but glad I did :)

	Thanks for the pointers - flipcode doesn't seem to be working
as far as the code stuff goes. I found the Ratcliff link, but it
doesn't work and searching the code archive also fails. Probably a
temporary glitch, I'll check back.

	I'll also look for the Numerical Recipies site and check it
out.

	Thanks again to all for the pointers. I can usually do pretty
good with a search, but evidently I didn't hit the correct combination
of keywords for this one.
