On reading the whole thread again, I might understand your msg. As Chris and you said, 18!:3 a numbered string is a bad thing, but such an idea never occurred to me, so that I only referred to 18!:3'' in my previous msg. If 18!:3 a numbered string is bad and no counter example be available, I suggest raising an domain error if attempted. -- regards, bill ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
