Greatgreatgreat... (To all readers: I am in, are *you* ?)

good idea.

Hm. That's what I dislike of Linux and JNOS systems, one needs a C compiler
to  just  run  the  d*  thing.  Why  not spread the sources, and a complete
compiled version which is configurable by an install program or cfg file?
It  would  support the use much more. This way a sysop doesn't have to be a
C- "guru".

>Huh? Either I'm unable to translate this or I just don't know what it is...
hihi, no prob. A hashing table system works like this : We take an array of
a  certain  size  (e.g.  what's  left of memory) and index it like a normal
array.  The  only  difference  is  the  way we generate the index. From the
contents  or  comment  of the mail, we generate a checksum-like number (you
can  add the values of the ASCII characters for starters, and mod them with
the size of the table).
We  stash the mail on the index generated from it's own contents. This way,
we  can  search  very fast. Simple generate the key for the object to find,
and look at that point in the hashing table. If it isn't there, you haven't
got it. This search takes only *1* cycle. It doesn't get much faster.
The  only  problem  is  when  2 messages generate the same key. You have to
write  an  algorithm  to  put  a linked list in the array or something like
that.
See? we re learning each other allready! (Hope you can help me with my C)

I have the same problem here, hi. School is a mystery...
