How precise (correct) is the above? Oops - deleted the wrong line. The FIRST CHARACTER is s(s'first). What I was trying to say is that s'first is NOT the first character--it is the first index. It's typos like this--obvious, yet somehow missed by the writer--that demonstrate why a "picky" language is not a ball and chain as some want us to believe. -- Wes Groleau http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~wgroleau
