Perhaps looking at SYB would be a reasonable start to generalizing SECs in this context? - - Jake -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkmIukAACgkQye5hVyvIUKkkrwCfaDJxjumLR92aIiGIvXtXH20G XiwAniEslqswXJYdeRW2hx2a6rdf3cdj =y/g1 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
