      A finger on my hand? If it's a neg. integer it's one that's been amputated.

          Let me guess, you stuck a finger in the breech of your M16 and lost the end of it?

                5.00am, but I am temporally out of kilter, I slept have the afternoon away and am wide awake. I shall try too drift off again so as not to screw my internal clock for work tomorrow.

                    I am at work. Have an app to deliver on Tuesday, and of course feature creep has crept in and so am trying to finish up. :(

                                      To lose one finger could be considered unfortunate...blah blah blah. Had you not considered sticking a twig in there instead? I have seen many a lost finger on old sweats (experienced soldiers), who ought to know better!

                                        For the compiler on my 32 bit machine, WORD is an unsigned short. So it would be: pow(2, 11*2*8), i.e., pow(2, 176) = 2 raised to the power of 176
