Seen it, and it has validity. But I'd rather work with C than actual assembly any day. And these days, C code is just a bunch of directives specifying how a compiler should build a program; optimizing compilers add, remove, reorder, whatever they think fit. It's a pretty high level language now. ChrisA -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
