(Oh and its := for assignment >grin<) I just tried Ralf Brown's solution on my PC here, and it had absolutely no effect. (By the way, where did you find that setting CX to 0 would truncate? Its not in my docs.) Can anyone suggest another approach to this, or the possible error in the original solution?
