Perhaps some confusion is due to the fact that why would somebody what to know if 16 consecutive bytes are identical, but not care about what their value is? The question itself is answered. But what is the reason for the question? I.e. "I don't care what the bytes are, I just want to know if they are all [not] the same?" What good is the answer to that question? -- John McKown Systems Engineer IV IT Administrative Services Group HealthMarkets(r) 9151 Boulevard 26 * N.
