That's pretty clever, but I neglected to mention that I need to accumulate the sums as ints/longs to avoid losing precision, so converting to floating point isn't an optional. (The sums are normalized by the sizes of the files and expanded to 32 bits in order to maximize precision.) -- Erik Max Francis && [EMAIL PROTECTED] && http://www.alcyone.com/max/ San Jose, CA, USA && 37 20 N 121 53 W && AIM, Y!M erikmaxfrancis Experience is the name everyone gives to their mistakes. -- Oscar Wilde -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
