Greetings: I am trying to port an algorithm written in Pick BASIC to C. I am having trouble determining the use of the Pick BASIC function INDEX. INDEX appears to take 3 arguments, two strings and an integer and it returns an integer. I'm not sure what it does. Are there any Pick BASIC experts out there who could fill me in? You can post replies to either of the newsgroups I'm sending this to, or you could e-mail me. Thanks in advance. P.S. - this is the "Metaphone" algorithm in the Dec. 1990 Computer_Language magazine. -kevin kgowen@cie.uoregon.edu
