That's another good point. I don't think there is, but its probably almost always going to be a reasonable assumption that Stream_Element'size is evenly divisiable by Storage_Unit'size. It would be nice if this were in the standard though. I can't see what good use anyone could make of the extra flexiblity. --- T.E.D. homepage - http://www.telepath.com/dennison/Ted/TED.html home email - mailto:dennison@telepath.com
