Shift left is *not* the same as multiplying by k. It is the same as multi- plying by 2^k. That is, 1<<10 = 1024, 1<<11 = 2048, 1<<12 = 4096, etc. sherm-- -- Web Hosting by West Virginians, for West Virginians: http://wv-www.net Cocoa programming in Perl: http://camelbones.sourceforge.net -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
