The other side of that argument is that if it was supposed to behave like sprintf, it would have been named sprintf, and not StrPrintF. I believe that the behavior of sprintf is defined in the ANSI C spec. However, the behavior of StrPrintF is defined in the PalmOS Reference Manual. I've been bitten by the incompatibilities myself, and have learned that unless the function has the exact name as an ANSI function, I shouldn't expect it to behave like one (MemSet anyone?). -- Dave Carrigan ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) | Yow!
