For years I coded all of mine I8, U8, I16, U16, I32, U32. Actually I'd probably use lower case if I were to start over again, easier to type. Now all you would need is to add I64, U64 or i64, u64. :) 10 years from now you can add i128 and u128. Or maybe they'll do a half-step to i96, u96. :) -- ,-/- __ _ _ $Bill Luebkert ICQ=14439852 (_/ / ) // // DBE Collectibles / ) /--< o // // http://www.wgn.net/~dbe/ -/-' /___/_<_
