I recall early versions of the RR compiler and the Telesoft compiler being short of generics & doing I/O in non-standard ways. (And I'm *still* mad at Telesoft after all these years for continuously lying about when they were going to release software to me!) So I guess I don't understand the context of "now" when it has always been thus. And I just know you're waiting for someone to say "Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!!!" :-) MDC -- Marin David Condic Senior Software Engineer Pace Micro Technology Americas www.pacemicro.com Enabling the digital revolution e-Mail: marin.condic@pacemicro.com Web: http://www.mcondic.com/
