The program contains literally thousands of > loops. My code uses such loops all the time. Perhaps because the idiom is there, I make use of it. Where there are only indexed loops, or the C style of loops, I suppose you tend to code around those. It's very handy also when writing quick tests or benchmarks, you often do want run piece of test code N times without messing around with all the syntax that is otherwise required. -- Bartc
