[snip] I give up. You very occasionally post an actual coherent, correct reply to a question, then you generate utter stupidity like this. > typedef float Single; > typedef double Double; > typedef int Integer; > typedef size_t Size; The four lines above are just moronic. You crossposted this to a C, C++, FORTRAN, and Ada newsgroup. C++, FORTRAN, and Ada are off-topic in comp.lang.c. FORTRAN and Ada are off-topic in comp.lang.c++. There isn't a single mention of Ada in your entire post. The typedef keyword exists in FORTRAN and Ada? *Plonk* and good riddance, moron. Jack Klein -- Home: http://jackklein.home.att.net
