The inclusion of the 'int' part obscures what I think the real problem is.. Does it make sense to use uniary-minus on a unsigned type? My answer.. no. But the counter argument that will likely come up is generic behavior. So, to prempt that.. does unary minus have any useful meaning for MOST types? My answer is still no. :) Later, Brad
