(even though the code might have to be re-written) Many operations that traditional DOS batch language doesn't provide out of the box, can be performed by the help of some additional utilities. One possible source for such utilities is the package "dosutils.zip" which is available here: http://www.bttr-software.de/products/jhoffmann/ And if one doesn't insist in infix notation (mathematics using parantheses to indicate the precedence of operations) but is comfortable with reverse poish notation (as used by older HP calculators) then one doesn't even need a batch file at all, but can use the utility RPN right out of the box. ___________________________________________________________ Schon gehört?
