You would get the memory, 8 bytes at a time. 8-byte integers are often stored aligned on 8-byte boundaries, because it's slightly more efficient, but it's not required. It depends on what you're looking for, which you still haven't told us. > would achieve the same thing. I would store the address containing the > doubles I want in a list() called hit_pool.

You would read the memory, then scan through it locally looking for your hit_pool. However, you'e always going to be fighting the language. This kind of low-level machine-dependent processing is always going to be much faster and easier to code in C or C++. — Tim Roberts, t...@probo.com Providenza & Boekelheide, Inc.
