I think I speak for many, many people who read this newsgroup when I tell 
you that this is an extremely trivial problem to solve, and frankly, I'm
tired of seeing it asked over and over and over again here.  Why don't
you ask around locally, or do some searching on your own in the 
standard references, before you post questions to the entire world, which,
by the way, costs $$.
