Possible my memory is distorted (it's been at least twelve years) but I seem to remember not being able to. Also, the comments in their package Unsigned did not say anything about unsigned'last, they said something like (memory again) this package is all comments because it's illegal to have integer types that are not symmetrical about zero. -- Wes Groleau http://freepages.rootsweb.com/~wgroleau/Wes
