Are the characteristics of your objects isomorphic to those of complex numbers? I.e., does the result of multiplication have a useful analog in the 2-element vector domain? If not, you're abusing the type system. You should abstract the interface to these pairs and implement them using cons cells, most likely. -- Rahul Jain [EMAIL PROTECTED] Professional Software Developer, Amateur Quantum Mechanicist
