-> fair enough but I think that your program wastes time in shuffling
-> six numbers to the head of the queue when there's other ways to
-> achieve the goal.
SWAP is a very fast operation. I agree that, if you want to use the
program to make only one 6/49 selection, then your method *may* be
faster than mine (especially if you rely on the DIM to fill the array
with zeroes). However, if you want to make a whole lot of selections,
mine would certainly be faster.
-> what's this compulsion with speed? If everyone thought along those
-> lines then no-one would have bought Win95...
I didn't!
