I'm assuming that. It may not always be true. I've been lead to understand that some compilers for 64bit processors consider a double to be 64 bit. >..., then "V" makes sense to me. >However, I am working on a networked Sun Station, so I think I will try >"N" also. I have no idea what a big-endian and little-endian is. It relates to the way numbers are represented in the hardware of your computer. Multi-byte values, such as 256, can be stored as (expressed in hex) 00 01 (little endian) or 01 00 (big endian). >err...YMMV? Your Mileage May Vary. Liz
