Doug, Booth...

there was a nice discourse on this on the usenet group back last year
sometime.  It also had a nice solution or methodology to make some
intelligent guesses...  Perhaps someone has that posting in their archives
and can give a synopsis...

Al, this would make for a interesting tool addition, although I'm sure it
would be easiest done in RPG...:)
