Yep. A journalist trying to track a network of people. Some of them have known IFPs (such as email addresses). Some of them m ight be defined for a while as "the bloke who knows X and Y". This is roughly the same application as the tracking down terrorists that Simon mentioned, except I don't know anybody involved in tracking down terrorists. Maintaining my address book would be another example - this would be handy, but I certainly don't have any particular inverse functional property for the people there. Including their names, which turn out to be a long way from an IFP. cheers Chaals
