Hash table management was a part of my computer science core curriculum; it isn't _that_ hard. Also, for C programmers, there's standard library hash management functions that are easy to use (never try to re-invent the wheel!). See "man hcreate_r" (although it is unfortunately just a GNU extension to have multiple hash tables). Now, given that, I still write most of my system admin stuff in perl. -- Chris Adams <cmadams@xxxxxxxxxx> Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble. -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
