As far as I know there is a verson of Linux that can read NTFS but not write to it... I remember reading it somewhere but don't know enough about Linux to know whither it's part of the kernel or part of a GNU package.. ----- first off I'm trying to make an antagram creator... (yes I know there's a website that will do this for me, but I want to do it myself) I've decided to use the Linux operating system to do this so I can create simple programs which might become useful later on and so I can get the hang of pipes and/or shell scripts... and compiling C using GCC and makefiles... (I'm used to Borland's nice IDE for Turbo C) basicaly it'll be a great learning experence for me... :) I just would like to know a few things: Question 1: Does RedHat 5.2 come with a file containing words like a dictionary w/o definitions? If not where can I get one? Question 2: Does anyone know of an algorithm to take an array and finding all the possible combinations for the array? ex. finding all the possibilities of 123: 123, 132, 213, 231, 312, 321 I tried to figure this out for myself, but I could only get my algorithm to work on arrays of 3 and 4 elements and would screw up on any array larger than that... any suggestions would be appreciated.... Psudocode should be good enough for me... :) Thanks.. /* From: James H. Durbin Email: divine-bovine@xxxx.xxx */
