I'd go with -(2^60), though, as (you?) first suggested, rather than any estimate of the bang. The value should be constant and avoid anything which could lead to a future flame war should estimates change. Its also easier to read/spot in binary, octal or hex. Put another way, as long as it uses integers mod a power of two, use a power of two. -JimC -- James Cloos <cloos@jhcloos.com> OpenPGP: 0x997A9F17ED7DAEA6
