Everyone knows that you should use C as you would an assembly language, and so you should be able to say .word 23 .word 343 in the middle of the program, thus giving some object code to be included at that point :-) Come off it! "C" is NOT PL/360, and let's not try to make it into such. Jeff Bowles Lisle, IL
