In this case, the tips I thought might be interesting to others were: 1) using namespace std; is so often a bad idea that I can't actually think of a good use for it. (Kaz was prompted to post a scenario in which the 'using namespace' construct could be useful, so that's a positive outcome.) 2) mixing of signed and unsigned expressions is very often a sign that the program hasn't been thought through properly. This, too, is (I think) a discussion that might also turn out to be profitable, despite its origins. -- Richard Heathfield Email: rjh at cpax dot org dot uk "Usenet is a strange place" - dmr 29 July 1999 Sig line 4 vacant - apply within
