This may sound confusing but I hope someone understands. I would like to know more about these .... if they can be approximated as mathematical functions or something. Please email your answers or further questions if I didn't make enough sense :) -- Antti Kyll|nen, Tiilitie 17D30, 90650 Oulu, Finland Tel: +358-81-5301769 Email: atk@stekt.oulu.fi T{m{ n{in p|yt{kirjan ulkopuolella.
