RE: trying to optimize my octave program

Okay, I used the phrase "intellectual property" loosely.  I'll look into
Freenode's C++ channel.  Thanks!

Well, I'm sure the interesting bit isn't all 750 lines.

In Freenode's C++ channel, a standard request is to make a testcase, a
minimal sample of code that exhibits your problem. Not only does that make
it easier to help you, but it's also good for you to just sit down, analyse
your own problem, and pinpoint what's essential, what isn't, and where the
issue could be. It's really one of the best ways to do collaborative
debugging.

> Also, the algorithm contains intellectual property

That's a dirty word 'round these parts. You probably mean "trade secret" for
which you could be sued if you revealed.
