Although I still say that really your routine is doing four operations and mine is doing two (giving 12 for both), I timed them and your four are more efficient than my two. For 10000 pass of a six element list, yours timed at 173 milliseconds and mine was 198 milliseconds.
Tab's was different to time, but more or less it came in at about 222 milliseconds. -- [To remove yourself from this list, or to change to digest mode, go to http://www.penworks.com/lingo-l.cgi To post messages to the list, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Problems, email [EMAIL PROTECTED]).
