Just got back from a job and saw your note. The message I sent earlier with the code then I'll see if NET will accept a StringStream type in place of the MemoryStream. To be honest, I thought that many of the different stream types were actually the same beast...just called whatever to make them easier to use just as some dB makers use one Blob type and then offer them as MemoBlobs, Imageblobs, etc.

It seems to have available just about anything I might need except as I said they all work with a MemoryStream and byte variables. I tried typecasting but that didn't seem to work and I don't know if I can substitute a different stream type...but I'll give it a try and see what happens. One thing though, it seems a terrible waste to use a stream just for a single string of perhaps 8 chars, but I haven't had any luck finding any specific string handling encryption routines...good ones...that can be used in NET except for paid libraries. _______________________________________________ Delphi mailing list -> [email protected] http://www.elists.org/mailman/listinfo/delphi
