Your code evaluates to a 32-bit unsigned integer, while the original specified 64 bits (with an MS-specific extension to the language). It's possible that your program doesn't use this specific code though. Anyway, for a better fix change the code to this: typedef unsigned long long ub8; so long, benny ====================================== Benjamin Riefenstahl (benny@crocodial.de) Crocodial Communications EntwicklungsGmbH Ruhrstraße 61, D-22761 Hamburg, Germany - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request@cygnus.com" with one line of text: "help".
