But I also blame you for continuing to use a signature that's corrupted before it leaves your computer. Consider either changing it or figuring out how to get Pan to handle it correctly (you can use alt.test to test solutions). I would have contacted you by email if I could. If you want to discuss this further, email me. I won't continue this discussion here. -- Keith Thompson (The_Other_Keith) Keith.S.Thompson+u@gmail.com Will write code for food. void Void(void) { Void(); } /* The recursive call of the void */
