Wouldn't it be easier to just copy the data from DOS memory into a protected-memory buffer with movedata(), then just work on the buffer? The amount of protection faults my crappy programming generates, I wouldn't want to take any chances needlessly. This is all in the FAQ, there are 3 main methods of accessing DOS memory, and movedata() is safest and easiest, though a bit slow cos of the copying. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Why pamper life's complexity, when the leather runs smooth on the passenger seee-eee-aaat? http://www.greenaum.demon.co.uk/
