It was/is a common practice in APL to convert strings to numbers and work with the numbers (integers) until you needed to present the results in human readable form. There are huge databases built every night at many companies building such inverted databases to work on with APL systems. The APL inverted processes built this way are very fast and worth the slow processes doing the inversion. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
