Me thinks this is not what was intended. Possibly it's an error, possibly it's the right thing. Could you send mail back telling me if this was on purpose? -- Randy Thelen Software Engineer Network Appliance, Inc. The bad news is that the macro definition indeed fails to match the comment; the good news is that the error results in over-generous sizing of arrays designed to hold ASCII representations of numbers. I've changed the "100" in the "#define" to the correct "1000"; the change will show up in the next version of tzcode. --ado
