Ah, OK. I thought you were talking about the math operations themselves. I've spend a lot of years doing embedded stuff that did a lot of fixed point math, so worrying about how the math scales (as opposed to the underlying algorithm) becomes a habit. -- Grant Edwards [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Flightgear-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-users
