I have to confess that I never read her original paper. So all credit belongs to her, all bugs are mine. I tried to get some insight from an implementation of two students of mine. They remain anonymous because their work was the wost piece of code I ever saw. My code behaves mostly as their implementation did except it is about 75 times faster. =head1 AUTHOR Ulrich Pfeifer F<E<lt>pfeifer@wait.deE<gt>> =head1 COPYRIGHT Copyright (c) 1996 Ulrich Pfeifer.
