Being just a system geek and not a professional programmer, I don't understand why one would use that notation instead of the more obvious variations of "0x8000"? I understand that the compiler, at compile time (not run time) will figure out that the programmer "meant" 0x8000 from that piece of code so the end result is the same but it seems that for documentation purposes it'd be more obvious to do it the other way. Am I missing something? Thanks for letting me ask. -- << MCT >> Michael C Tiernan http://www.linkedin.com/in/mtiernan Non Impediti Ratione Cogatationis _______________________________________________ Tech mailing list Tech@lopsa.org http://lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tech This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
