Be prepared to be impressed! It's amazing how much faster REMOVE can be in certain circumstances. I had one routine that was taking 5-10 minutes to run on a large dynamic array. I changed it to use REMOVE and it ran in under 30 seconds. Simply wonderful. I just wish it wasn't called "REMOVE". It has nothing to do with removing data from the array. That threw me for a *long* time before I finally got around to trying it. - jmh ------- u2-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/ The information contained in this email is strictly confidential and for the use of the addressee only, unless otherwise indicated.
