And depending on the numbers of Structure and Array entries, and the number of *'d elements, it may well make sense to perform the single-instruction compare (CLC?) first, and look at the *s only if that compare fails. It's pretty much impossible to choose the right algorithm in the absence of the numbers of these various items. Tony H.
