Thanks for asking. Tell us how you are confused and why you need<br>
help?<br>
<br>
Your question was not insightful. You don't seem to be able to help<br>
yourself. Please read "How To Ask Questions The Smart Way";<br>

<br>
Your question looks just the same as many of the other questions we've<br>
been receiving. It's not a good approach to solving problems. Please<br>
read the article "How to ask for directions";<br>

Once you've read all those, ask a new question, on the mailing list if<br>
the question is general, or on an issue if specfic to an issue.<br>
<br>
p.s. you didn't need to say who you are, because it was already in<br>
your e-mail address.<br>
<br>
p.p.s. you didn't need to say you were at any specific university;<br>
because it really does not matter. What does matter is working source<br>
code. Show us that, and we're interested.<br>
