Is there a group on the net that addresses only algorithms? I have a hard time deciding where to post when I have a question such as "what is the best xxxxx algorithm for this situation that matches this criteria?" Since I am mostly proficient in C, I post here, but what if I just want ANY algorithm in pseudo code that isn't addressed in a book (like Algorithms in C by Sedgwick). E.g. sorting, searching, closest point, hidden surface removal (comp.graphics?), ai, least danger, look ahead, etc. Brian

I've never read it, but it seems like a likely candidate... -- Dave Schaumann dave@cs.arizona.edu 'Dog Gang'! Where do they get off calling us the 'Dog Gang'? I'm beginning to think the party's over. I'm beginning to think maybe we don't need a dog. Or maybe we need a *new* dog. Or maybe we need a *cat*! - Amazing Stories

Well, I've been pushing for comp.programming for a while, though not enough people seem to support it. If you imagine rec.games.programmer as comp.programming.games comp.unix.programmer as comp.programming.unix comp.os.msdos.programmer as comp.programming.msdos comp.sys.mac.programmer as comp.programming.mac then comp.programming (or comp.programming.misc) makes sense. It could certainly absorb a lot of traffic from other groups. ---Dan
