But at least it isn't too hard to have some fixed-size numeric thing and just convert integers, etc to it for when you want pictures. Still, its always a nice thing to have for the sake of convenience... MDC Warren W. Gay VE3WWG wrote: > > Ada provides for this, but IIRC it is limited to only > decimal types (which is a pain).
