Bah! No sop for them! C<static> has so many overloaded meanings in C/C++ that who's to say this meaning is really the one that's worth codifying? (I always felt this particular C++ thing was the CS equiv of "mind if we call you Bruce?") Besides, you already gave them a huge sop when you have back their xor. How much more can we -- I mean (*ahem*) they -- ask for? MikeL
