Ah, only a 6X expansion factor presuming the real values are 16-bit integers (they're too large for a byte, but none have gone high enough to require more than 16-bits...

I'll ignore the ~15X expansion for the decimal ASCII he is so enamored of... -- Wulfraed Dennis Lee Bieber AF6VN wlfraed@ix.netcom.com HTTP://wlfraed.home.netcom.com/
