    Sort of, even after you spent billions of years working on it - it's still crashing.

            FYI, these days (Core2) it is OK to fill up to 4 blocks of 16 bytes of code, as long as they are all properly aligned and the total number of instructions across those 4 blocks does not exceed 18. They do not even have to be consecutive. The Core i7 is even better in this regard, and fits 28 instructions or 8 blocks of 32 bytes in its loop buffer. (source: Agner Fog's manuals)

            Harold, Thank you. I will have to read Agner's PDF. I have downloaded it, but was afraid to open the cover and find out that I've been wrong all along. Dave.

                            Then you haven't met SF (Science Fiction) fans. Pun Wars are a polished and respected art among them.

                              Pun wars seems to be the techie equivalent of dodgeball. Punning is treated as the intellectual equivalent of jocks bragging in the showers, and I can't help it, I'm obsessed by them.

                                  No, but I am the father of two young girls. I have had my mind numbed with Teletubbies, Bob the Builder as well as the psychedelic fuggery that is In the Night Garden.

                                  This may be off topic, but I don’t want to hear any bad talk about the TeleTubbies, not even in jest! Tinky Winky has saved my sanity on more than one occasion and I have also discovered that regularly listening to the theme song has enabled me to solve complex problems more quickly! I am NOT sick!!
