Hans-Peter Nilsson rewrote the Serialize/Deserialize routines very carefully, so I can't speak authoritatively. I think he was trying to save as much space as possible. AFAICT, there's a marker indicating that the next variable coming up is sizeof() whatever. Take a look at htcommon/DocumentRef.cc::Serialize() to see the code. > And why is the document size information stored twice in the database ? They should be different. See htcommon/DocumentRef.[cc,h] which deals with the document DB records. In particular, there's the text size of the database and optionally, it can figure out the size of the document including all images. -- -Geoff Hutchison Williams Students Online http://wso.williams.edu/ ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by: OSDN - Tired of that same old cell phone?
