You know better than that, Alexey. :-) 1 is the natural base - you can't use it as an artihmetic (or multiplicative) base... 1 10 100? Doesn't work. You still have a degree of freedom. I imagine that was a typo for base 10, which is a typical base for counting on fingers. Ben who used to be pretty quick at counting in binary on his fingers, although 4 is a little rude, and 24 through 27 are physically difficult. -- Ben Stern UNIX & Networks Monkey [EMAIL PROTECTED] This post does not represent FTI, even if I claim it does.
