HI Karl If you are doing any serious number crunching you are best to code up the bulk of the work in a C, C++ or Pascal DLL. Interface with this every second or so from MapBasic. This allows the interface to be MapBasic but gives you machine code speed. Just a do wile loop in MapBasic with no code in it is painfully slow in comparison to say C.
You then have a wealth of formats to deal with byte, short, long and double.
