You might be surprised: I have never read anything by Clancy. Tell me, what method did HE use?

A single electronic timer. The lengths of wire from the timer/detonator to each piece of explosive was exact - thus, the pulse reached each piece of explosive at the same time. I think Clancy used multiple timers, each triggered at the same time. I don't think that one would need but one timer, though. -- Ed Carp, N7EKG Ed.Carp@linux.org, ecarp@netcom.com 214/993-3935 voicemail/digital pager 800/558-3408 SkyPager Finger ecarp@netcom.com for PGP 2.5 public key an88744@anon.penet.fi "Past the wounds of childhood, past the fallen dreams and the broken families, through the hurt and the loss and the agony only the night ever hears, is a waiting soul.
