Actually, a signed int only loses a single bit, and only if you don't want to allow the negative numbers --- so in reality all of the bits in a bitmask type result _should_ be available -- that might be 32 or 16 as you point out. Most likely it's 32 bits since that's the default these days. _M --- [This E-mail was scanned for viruses by Declude Virus (http://www.declude.com)] --- This E-mail came from the Declude.JunkMail mailing list.
