But for a lot of simple functions over simple data > types, defining such procedures is a pain. But if the data types are simple do you really need the optimisation? If you are adding two matrixes you need to do a lot of other things like check if they are of same dimentions etc. and you need to define the addition so you might as well do it as a procedure over a "+" function. -- Preben Randhol http://www.pvv.org/~randhol/
