Nothing special needed. This isn't true for C (and thus Turbo C), of course. You have to include math.h. While it is a built in in older lanugages like Fortran or Basic, most modern languages will require a declaration for the function somewhere. (I'm tempted to say that a language that doesn't require a declaration for a function is somewhat deficient, but SQRT is a special case.) -- James Kanze (+33) 88 14 49 00 email: kanze@gabi-soft.fr GABI Software, Sarl., 8 rue des Francs Bourgeois, 67000 Strasbourg, France Conseils en informatique industrielle -- -- Beratung in industrieller Datenverarbeitung
