Or, as you'd say Raymond (perhaps as per Neil's >'delete' processing method:)... Wheeee! Thats why I mentioned at one point that I timed it for when the camera's activity light stops. Windows has a nasty habit of reporting the end time as being when the DRIVER says its got the end of the file. Which is a problem if the driver has a large buffer because then all you're timing is the time taken for the file to make it into the buffer. Given that the computer I was testing on had half a gig of RAM, I'm 99.99% sure that it was shoving my entire test file into buffer (hence it being done in a flash). - Raymond --- /~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\ | | "Does fuzzy logic tickle?" | | ___ | "My HDD has no reverse.
