numero = 55673
interpreted = N
texte = Palle, I've always been under the impression that the cart algorithm was proprietary, just like the 'best-match' [search] function -- meaning it was written by Grant, and owned by SM. I'm not saying it's impossible to figure out, but I don't think it's going to be easy, and my unsolicited advice would be to write your own cart-algo and use it moving forward (I know that doesn't help you with past carts...) I have a cart algo that I got from Alain that works wonderfully, but I'm not sure if I have permission to post it, so I'll wait on word from Alain before (if?) I do.. -Dan ------------------------------------------------------------ http://www.StrongGraphicDesign.com http://www.SearchBoise.com ------------------------------------------------------------ On Sat, 24 Jan 2004 19:43:26 +0100 Palle Bo Nielsen

Palle, I've always been under the impression that the cart algorithm was proprietary, just like the 'best-match' [search] function -- meaning it was written by Grant, and owned by SM. I'm not saying it's impossible to figure out, but I don't think it's going to be easy, and my unsolicited advice would be to write your own cart-algo and use it moving forward (I know that doesn't help you with past carts...)
