Hi Robert,
thanks for that small reminder. I can assure you that DJToolkit (which is
where Dilwyn is (probably) having his problem has a large number of
procs/fns each of which have a neaningful name (I hope !) and I have set up
the definition block correctly as (Total number of procs + total bytes in
all names + 7)/8 and the same for the fns.
This is only required when the average length of the names (separate for
procs and fns) is greater than 7.
Regards,
Norman.
