To do so, this would require assumptions of the internal : representation of -1. You're right! I assumed a 32bit charset will only be available on a newer platform >=32bit, and all those I know are 2'comp integer, (except for e.g. IEEE floating point, which is signed-magnitude). Bye, Heribert (dahms AT ifk20 DOT mach DOT uni-karlsruhe DOT de) - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request AT cygnus DOT com" with one line of text: "help".
