	The latest issue of Communications of the ACM has 2 articles
	related to hashing, and I'm sure at least one of them is on
	Extensible hashing.......the algo itself is very small, and he
	proves that its elegant and has all the desirable properties
	of a *good* hashing algo.

	The issue came just 2 days back, so it must be the June 90 or
	July 90 (if they run a month ahead) issue. It has a man doing
	the tightrope atop a floppy disk as its cover picture.

	Hope this helps.
