If "billions of code sections to handle all the individual cases" are needed, then let the "programmer program" come up with them. Then a "super human" programmer can finish the job and claim authorship. :) You know that it's just a matter of time before human programmers will be obsolete! Just as computers are taking over the World Chess Championship, they will eventually take over everything else, too. It's just a matter of time. I find the idea of a "programmer program" to be a neat idea. Maybe it's time has come already? :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) Signed: HAL _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ > >>>Think of the fortress positions, easy to see for a human, not so for a computer. >>>Are they important, well yes Smirin showed us that, but how do we evaluate it >>>staticly? >> >>Someone will figure it out. > >I doubt it :) > >-S.
