You have such a way with words :-). It is clear from the various bits of mail I've gotten, and postings such as this, that folks on this group don't think too highly of my idea. Part of the problem is that I made a braino (similar to a typo, but occuring above the neck); I meant to write: #define NULL (""[0]) It's also clear that people probably won't think too highly of that either, so I guess we can just drop it. -- Roy Smith, Public Health Research Institute 455 First Avenue, New York, NY 10016 roy@alanine.phri.nyu.edu -OR- {att,cmcl2,rutgers,hombre}!phri!roy "Arcane?
