For example, if you were running on an 80*86 chip, and p was an array filling a segment, then &p[ARRAYSIZE] has a value of 0! In particular, the for loop would terminate immediately. I don't believe that this technique is good form, even if it looks like it says what you mean more clearly. And I also don't believe that its portable. --Darryl Richman, INTERACTIVE Systems Inc. ...!cca!ima!ism780!darryl The views expressed above are my opinions only.
