Actually, in Modula-2 type transfer should only happen between variables of the same size. Certain compiler provided extensions (like our VAX compiler) that allow type transfer between variables which are less than four bytes in size. But that's a documented extension. Benchmark seems to do something similar, but I couldn't find the documentation. Anyway, this is not that important. If you play with addresses too much, you deserve all the trouble you get yourself into. Richie
