Read) Organization: UT-Austin / The Institute for Leisurely Studies Lines: 16 I have need of the SOUNDEX routine which represents words as sounds in order to do comparisons and look-ups based on how the words sound. Does any one know where I can get a reference on the algorithm, or does any one know how it works? Unless you think other people will be interested, just send your replies to me via E-Mail, thanks. Thank you in advance for your help. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- David M.
