Jonas, Sorry about the message cut short there… The flags variable in the FaceIO type is an unsigned long (32 bits), the only valid values for that are 1 | 2 | 4, only 3 bits, shouldn't an unsigned char be used instead? Just curious but there are more of these types of, well, wasted space, and I was wondering if there was actually more data in those vars than is documented. Basically, can I use the shorter types in my code without worrying? Just curious… doug
