To that respect TP (6) doesn't seem to follow the rule in their Reference Guide (TP 5) ... * For the "32000+32000=-1536" bug, it's more an overflow checking problem than a range check one. Since overflow checking appears only in TP/BP 7 ($Q+) one shouldn't blame TP6... NB: not tested the case on TP7... -- Gautier -------- http://members.xoom.com/gdemont/
