That's a good idea. A little known and certainly undocumented "oh by the way" is that the left half (i.e. the first 8 bytes) of the TTOKEN is the STOKEN of the address space where it lives. Ed Jaffe's idea of using ASCBINTS is probably a good one too and it eats 8 bytes less :-) CC ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
