If you wanted >types with explicit sizes, there was already byte, short, int and long. I think because Java's designers thought on the byte code level. There, chars are unsigned 16-bit. That they are used for chars was not really of interest to them. Much of Java is just a thin wrapper around byte code. It has no high level features of its own. -- Roedy Green Canadian Mind Products http://mindprod.com To err is human, but to really foul things up requires a computer. ~ Farmer's Almanac It is breathtaking how a misplaced comma in a computer program can shred megabytes of data in seconds.
