So if your program has large arrays, make them external even if they logically should be static. Otherwise you will share Daniel's wretched fate. ^ || Q:| || |/ || | || / \ -----| Sam Kendall--------------------------allegra ! delftcc!sam -----|_ Delft Consulting Corp. seismo!cmcl2 / \(212) 243-8700 ihnp4/ ARPA: delftcc!sam@nyu.ARPA or @nyu-cmcl2.ARPA think got posting midnight Glub glub I I've the after disease. glub
