Many thanks, I'll watch out. In an earlier draft, I believe it was proposed that the type specifier be a single character. I hope that thought will be given to the use of something similar to dtype as the mnemonic codes are much more user-friendly than the letter codes. Thanks also for all the slogging you have done over the last many months. Colin W. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
