Prior and possible other (future) respondents, for their replies. Allright, maybe I was a bit hasty in putting aside the 'backward compatibility' argument. Further, it's generally good to give assignment low priority, I guess. But on the other hand, as Tom Truscott mentioned, "C converted from x =OP y to x OP= y without too much hassle", so why not enhancing the language further ? Perhaps it's the time for ... *D*, the language with all the goodies of C ! Cheers. -- Time flies like an arrow, fruit flies |Maarten Litmaath @ Free U Amsterdam: like an orange.
