Andrej, You are quite right. Union was a cheat ... relying on the fact that the probability of two random reals in [0,1] being equal was zero (rather than impossible), and obviously somewhat more likely with finite precision. I have a slow machine ... so I'm very grateful for the speedup suggestions and will compare them over the weekend and post the results. Cheers, Mark -- Mark R. Diamond
