Good point. One other note, the C version should have a much smaller memory footprint then Perl or Python - less likely to perturb test results. Speaking for myself, i think this is such a small pile of code, it might be fun to have a parallel Perl/Python version. (it would be a good excuse for me to learn some Python) My personal choice would be C to generate the data and Perl to pretty-print it.
I need to get into the code more for STP integration, so i'll have more opinons soon :) cliffw
