There are no unsigned types which leads to extremely ugly bit manipulation codes. Primitive types are now effectively deprecated in Java, and this is likely a deprecation which will actually lead to a removal – unlike everything else in Java that has been deprecated which is still there. Sun did one time actually remove something from a Java release but there was such an outcry that it got put back in. Sadly it should never have been taken out in the first place. Unlike all the stuff that has been deprecated for >10 years which should have gone long ago. -- Russel. ============================================================================= Dr Russel Winder t: +44 20 7585 2200 voip: sip:russel.win...@ekiga.net 41 Buckmaster Road m: +44 7770 465 077 xmpp: rus...@winder.org.uk London SW11 1EN, UK w: www.russel.org.uk skype: russel_winder
