Special code is transparent to the user. Meaning he can use the same grammar (and semantics) and yet still get performance improvements. From the language user's point of view, there are no exceptions, grammatical or otherwise. -Dan ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
