       Yes indeed. And I hope that no *serious* students are discouraged   
   from asking questions when they get stuck somewhere, just because a few,   
   that think they can get it all on a silver platter, simply by asking in   
   this news group, are dismissed the usual way.   
      
       I for one, like you I think (judging from the fantastic   
   contributions you have made to the Pascal community), love to share my   
   knowledge with anyone interested. But like hell I'll contribute to   
   anyone's attempt to get a better grade the way this anonymous "science   
   guy" obviously tried to.   
      
       A few tips to the students seeking information here:   
      
       1) Use your real name. If you don't it seems obvious that you don't   
   want your teacher to find out about your quest for information.   
      
       2) Show us what you've produced so far, and ask just about some   
   specifics that got you stuck. We are many here that can point you to the   
   right direction, if only you show us what you've done so far.   
      
       3) Asking advice is perfectly acceptable, but make sure it shows   
   that  advice is all you ask for, not the complete package, ready made.
