Josh,

This also means that I have to change the way I construct the sorting
mechanism for the Priority Queue.   So instead of
pq=PQueue.new(proc{|x,y| x[0][0<y[0][0]]})
pq.push([[12], ["n1"], [123456780], [123456708]])
I have to use:
pq=PQueue.new(proc{|x,y| x[0]>y[0]})
pq.push([12, "n1", 123456780, 123456708])

Also I found that I had the "<" wrong.  Should be ">" for an ascending sort.

Thanks again for your help.  I'm making progress.  But, geez, is it slow!

No Sam
