But even with the good documentation about the state machine implemented, this surely is highly optimised C "hack"* code that I probably won't understand so soon. Another problem is that I can't easily translate this into C# because there's no such thing as pointers to strings (character arrays). I'll keep on searching for a function for that. Maybe, given enough time, I'll come up with my own one... Some day... ;-) *) I mean, come on, using negative array indices on pointers... cb = b[-1]; ;-) -- Yves Goergen "LonelyPixel" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Visit my web laboratory at http://beta.unclassified.de ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
