On reflection, that was probably a bad idea. The problem is that this violates the guarantee that object references never get re-used. A better approach would probably be to change the underlying data type for the counter to float (C's double) for 32 bit platforms. This should result in 9e15 distinct object ids -- and take several thousand years for current 32 bit machines to exhaust. -- Raul ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
