I am aware of the problem with this 'poor' programming style. The software has been written for a runtime system with C environment and is povided as is. There are about 150 (!) variables affected by this statement. Because of the lack of code space the program can't be extended (which will be the case when replacing the copy statement by assignments). Using an array or structure means to change all the variable references and is not feasible. Thanks again for your help. Harald (harald DOT jeszenszky AT oeaw DOT ac DOT at)
