I'd be very interested in this algorithm, that can be implemented at an
afternoon :-)

Could you point elaborate on this.

BTW. In Paderborn, Roland Pfister also told me, that he knows this from Rudolf
Huber, and he even started to explain it to me. Somhow, we (or me) got
distracted, and I cannot remember the essential things.

What I remember is, that the time consuming work, of making your
search/evaluation routines free from all those global variables is not needed.
