But I am interested. I used Pascal's triangle (also called Chinese
triangle) in the torso of a lotto program coded in REXX. Very neat to
evaluate very quickly the probabilities of various samples out of
various populations.

So what is the unexpected context you want to keep secret? There is
so much off-topic traffic flowing thru this newsgroup, so that this
could do not much harm.
