I haven't had any luck finding the right newsgroup to ask my question,
so i'll ask it here in the hopes that some of the regulars can redirect me to
the proper place, (or provide an answer anyway).

I'm looking into writing a piece of software to aid with the local transit
system, but I have hit a problem, I need a good algorithm (or easily 
modifiable) implementation of a shortest path algorithm for a one-pair set, 
in a system that will have many edges, and all positive weights, and it 
MUST record the path.

I've look at both Dijkstra's & Bellman-Ford's algorithms, but I don't see
how they can be modified to record the path.

Also, although it would only really be a bonus to this, some hints on
parallelizing the algorithm for speed reasons.

Sorry about being OT,
But I didn't have any luck with searching for it
