I like the idea of "correct semantics" :-) I doesn't look like we're going to gain very much in speed by inlining it, and I've not idea how much larger that would make the code. I suspect that the size increase will cancel out most of the speed gain. Nicholas Clark -- Even better than the real thing: http://nms-cgi.sourceforge.net/Thread Previous
