    CP seems to be growing steadily, can I suggest a prize for member number 65535, when that happens ? Christian No offense, but I don't really want to encourage the creation of another VB developer. - Larry Antram 22 Oct 2002 Hey, at least Logo had, at it's inception, a mechanical turtle. VB has always lacked even that... - Shog9 04-09-2002 During last 10 years, with invention of VB and similar programming environments, every ill-educated moron became able to develop software. - Alex E. - 12-Sept-2002

          No, Christian is an old programmer. The number represents the maximum memory addressable by an Intel 8080.

              About the 16 bits, or super being a VB programmer ? Yes, 65536 is the maximum for a 16 bit number 2 4 8 16 32 64 128 256 - one byte 512 1024 2048 4096 8192 16384 32768 65535 - two bytes No, I can't go any higher than that off the top of my head, at 128k I need to work it out myself.

                Do you have any idea what you can do with a 65535-way 8080 cluster? It's one of the best kept secrets at Intel!

                        Good Lord! They still won't let it die? It's time to move on, let the dead bury their own dead, and get on with it.

                                      Sorry Roger, Junkie is right there. The memory addressed by 8080 et al. is 64K (65536) bytes. Elaine (ex 8 bit fluffy tigress) Would you like to meet my teddy bear ?
