Generally, a language specifies a virtual machine and doesn't need to concern itself with things like "memory" at all. Although langauges like C tries to, look at all the undefined behavior you get when you make assumptions about memory layout etc. Memory representation is just an artifact of a particular implementation of the language for a particular architecture. -k -- If I haven't seen further, it is by standing in the footprints of giants -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
