Well, I never learned much about hashing when I went to school (more years ago than I want to think about ;-). I know the concept of hashing, but have never had a use for it in the applications I have worked on. My question is, are there any recomendations out there for a good, fairly basic book on hashing? I don't need to know all the gory details and the latest hot-shot methods, just the basics. -- Chuck Tryon USmail: 46 Post Ave.;Roch. NY 14619 B.
