I'm going to have to install my WATCOM compiler to run your line. (It's not a valid POCO program.) When browsing at Barnes and Nobles I saw a book that contained the winning entries to a contest for the most obscure C code. Couldn't believe the stuff in it! I resisted the temptation and bought "The Best C/C++ Tips Ever" instead. But maybe I would have learned more deciphering the code in the first book. I am going back to the bookstore to see if any of you programs are were included in the "obscure code" book <g>. Ed K
