Not sure if I'm wording that right, or even if it's proper... or for that
matter, if what I'm talking about would be an inverse factorial(if there is
such a thing)... but... I asked this elsewhere but may have put a header
that caused people to not even read, so here goes again.

Basically what I'm trying to do is take a random number of places, and
divide 100% over those places, in a descending amount from first to last,
with first being the highest percentage.

IOW, let's say there were 4 places, the division would be something like
1st - 50%
2nd-25%
3rd-15%
4th-10%

I may have as few as say the 4 places above, or maybe as many as 100. I
don't know what that number will be.

I'm no mathematician(as you can see from my header*g*) but I'd think that
there has to be a mathematical formula to do this.

Thanks!
Shawn
