Thanks, I found it already following the link you provided in your
previous post, but thanks for the effort anyway. :-)

Niiice. I haven't look deeply into the document as I have rather slow
Internet connection, but I'll study it in detail tomorrow on university
machine...

Mhm... don't know what US patent office would think about that... and
I'm coding in C# (yes, I could have coded it in C++, but I never thought
of publishing this code and my C# skills are much greater than my poor
knowledge of C++), so the preformance, portability and other similar
problems are risen... and my coding is everything but elegant.

But, OTOH, I already am spending a formidable amount of time for coding
the bloody thing, so I probably could find a spare afternoon for making
the code comprehensible to general public... don't know, I'll see what
my teacher says about the idea.
