The following code should do the trick.  If anyone is interested in
obtaining the perfect hash function generator program that created the
code below try anonymous ftp to ics.uci.edu ( 182.195.0.1 ), in the
~ftp/pub directory.  There are 2 versions available there:

perfect.tar.1.1.Z ( an older, functional, if inelegant solution written 
                    for GNU C )
gperf.tar.1.0.Z ( a far more elegant solution, written for GNU G++
                  1.31 or 1.32 )

If you don't have access to ftp, send me a note and I'll mail you a
shar file copy.
