The first mental picture I had of your suggestion was the two spotlights they used to find the height at which to drop the dambuster bombs but then I got to the radar bit It's only quite recently that some of the files on Bletchley Park (Enigma HQ) were declassified. A huge heap will of MOD and Pentagon paper work will never see the light of day. Some country's military IT machines are still in 1st gear of course - is 60 year-old cryptography still useful ? Is that what today's algorithms are based on ? As an aside, I find it curious that the JFK files will not be declassified until 2033 (I think, 1963+70). In a way it must be one of the worst-kept secrets ever > (Note to self: Relocate for a month or two! <LOL!>) It was only going to be an AVR leaflet drop. Still have to watch it though - an Atmel FAE from 10,000ft really stings. And man don't they holler on the way down -- http://www.piclist.com hint: The list server can filter out subtopics (like ads or off topics) for you. See http://www.piclist.com/#topics
