I have a vague recollection that we might have used .Machine$integer.max to represent "integer infinity" at some point. If so, then the results make some sense, but we don't seem to have similar conventions in any other places that I can think of (i.e. as.integer(Inf) is NA, etc.) -- O__ ---- Peter Dalgaard Øster Farimagsgade 5, Entr.B c/ /'_ --- Dept. of Biostatistics PO Box 2099, 1014 Cph.
