I'm sure it is. The only purpose of my mail was to clarify what I meant by "nonstandard", which in this case was "not strictly conforming". I didn't intend to imply anything else. In this case, there are two ways to view the program: either it has a bug, or it has an environmental depencency on wrapping integer arithmetic. Andrew.
