ok but how does a scripting language do these sort of functions? I mean
normally something like "sort" is a separate function from the
scripting language so I would think complex math functions would be
similar.

So if you think about it, is a little wrapper dll like this all that much
different from how scripting languages which do have complex math functions
would do something like that? IOW, I'm not sure that if you can find a way
to do it in straight asp you would be all that much better, either it's
going to result in a lot more code which means a lot more chances for
errors or it's got it's own complex functions which isn't going to be much
different than this.

Security wise this may not be such a bad solution and performance wise it's
probably got advantages over building complex functions in asp.

My concern and the reason I posted the code was there was some other
function in there that didn't appear to be math, it almost looked like a
performance tweak or something along those lines.
