Actually, the opposite. With SPLEVEL=1 the code generated would work on either XA or non-XA. SPLEVEL=2 code would only work on XA - it was not downwardly compatible. SPLEVEL=1 required 24 bit addresses. SPLEVEL=2 allowed 31 bit addresses in some cases. -- Binyamin Dissen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.dissensoftware.com Director, Dissen Software, Bar & Grill - Israel Should you use the mailblocks package and expect a response from me, you should preauthorize the dissensoftware.com domain.
