In a sense, it is one of the /most/ portable features! The Standard doesn't require it to do anything that double doesn't do, and therefore any implementation can implement it for free by interpreting it as a synonym for double. (And some do.) People who have to write portable code know this, so they don't bother using it, making it 100% portable and 100% useless. -- 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
