    It has a certain sexiness with the uppercase, repeated *((PULONG and -> bits. I have always liked that in C++, the -> instead of the C# style period. regards, Paul Watson Ireland Feed Henry! K(arl) wrote: oh, and BTW, CHRISTIAN ISN'T A PARADOX, HE IS A TASMANIAN!

        One of my lecturers (whom I alsways suspected of being very gay) emphasised indentation as poetry. Although I think sexual orientation has nothing to do with it, except being like a girl, I do believe ones code should look nice, besides being readible. I used to get high on life until I realized that life was cut with morons - Unknown

                PULONG is a DDK type. And of course this is C, coming from a driver. So, lots of nice meaty casting! (Actually, its part of a DHCP server I am working on, that resides in the driver) Nunc est bibendum

                  Yes, with someone who is 'just gay' it isn't as glaringly noticeable as it is with a screaming queen. I used to get high on life until I realized that life was cut with morons - Unknown

                    I find that well written code often does look aesthetically pleasing, however obviously some effort should be put into readability. I always try to ensure that my code does "look" good, atleast to my eyes: for (int iOperand = 0; iOperand < 3; iOperand++) {         if (pToken->iToken == TOK_IDENTIFIER          || pToken->iToken == TOK_OBRACKET          || pToken->iToken == TOK_INTEGER          || g_aTokens[pToken->iToken].m_iClass == TOKEN_REGISTER)         {                 pInstruction->apOperands[iOperand] = Parse_HandleOperand (pInstruction->iOpcode, &pToken);                 if (!pInstruction->apOperands[iOperand])                         return NULL;                 ++pInstruction->iNumOperands;         }         else                 break; } Just as an aside; I have never met a female programmer before...

                        I like your coding style and follow something almost identical, except * If I have to break the condition in an if clause, I don't indent the next line by a single space, I use a 4-character tab to indent it. * I enclose single-statement if and else blocks with braces. * Since I largely do C#, I don't use Hungarian. Cheers, Vikram.

                                    I like your coding style and follow something almost identical, except * If I have to break the condition in an if clause, I don't indent the next line by a single space, I use a 4-character tab to indent it. * I enclose single-statement if and else blocks with braces. * Since I largely do C#, I don't use Hungarian. Cheers, Vikram.

                                    me too, it's very, very confusing when other programmers don't do that ... (in my opinion anyway) Coulda, woulda, shoulda doesn't matter if you don't.

                                        only when the program behaves.... When there are bugs.... out comes the axe. one of my previous bosses and I had many conversations over whether or not Software was "science or art". I don't think this is an "or" situation, nor a 50/50 scenerio. Based on the user's experience he/she will make it more or less art. In her case she was a pure science person, software was rigid, there was only one way to do things. _________________________ Asu no koto o ieba, tenjo de nezumi ga warau.
