| | Isn't 16 bytes 128 bits? | Certainly 8 x 16 = 128. But these 16 bytes are comprised of three elements, a one-byte prefix, a 13-byte unsigned binary-integer infix, and a two-byte suffix. The infix contains the incremented value. (See the diagram in my first post). Thus 16 - 3 = 13, and 13 x 8 = 104, quod erat demonstrandum John Gilmore Ashland, MA 01721-1817 USA _________________________________________________________________ Internet Explorer 8 – Get your Hotmail Accelerated.
