It is my understanding that the most important reasons that C AND Pascal are not strongly typed is due to unions and variant records. Assigning a character to an integer in C does not constitute a weakly typed language. Strongly typed languages want to be able to tell what a thing is, not what its value is. /*----------- Thanks in advance... --------------------------------------+ | Peter C.
