The problem is that createjmf winds up calling OS functions for some operations, and those OS functions do not do what you think they might be doing when you give them the wrong data types. Coercing floats to integer when calling the OS will fix the immediate problem. Supporting big files is a different issue and would probably require using a different set of OS functions. -- Raul ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
