Mind you, I am not a novice of any sort and nobody really answered my questions in sufficient detail. I can design and implement a large number of advanced data structures and the implementations you refer to will not satisfy my needs. In particular I don't think I would ever use a straightforward hash table unless the problem presented opportunity for an admissable hash function. -- Eray Ozkural (exa) Comp. Sci.
