# This program generates a simkey10.dat (100, 1000, etc) each
# containing 100 random keys of length 10 (100, 1000, etc).
# These files can then be fed into keystats to observe that
# the time to add or find the keys is directly proportional to
# keylength n [in other words, O(n)].
#
# The conclusion is that really long keys (e.g. 100k) are not
# efficient.                                       TDH 23Jan07
