What word does the final result represent ?

(In reply to re: Solution by Charlie)

My program was far simpler -- something like

for (a=1; a>=9; a++) {
for (s=1; s>=9; s++) if (s!=a) {
for (t=1; t>=9; t++) if (t!=a) && (t!=s) {
...

and so on; you get the idea. After getting the only solution, I worked out the answer by hand.

Now, a question of mine: How did you figure it took me eight minutes?
