I guess I misinterpreted this sentence: > I guess I don't see the criterion for using the a+b*i. c form I took it to mean "I don't see the criterion which a human would use to prefer the short form", rather than "I don't see the criterion the interpreter uses to produce the short form". I also find reverse engineering the interpreter fun, and finding these pivots can be a pastime. The fact that I don't know the exact value of pivot doesn't render it a bug, however. -DAn ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
