And the difference was significant, as I also have a version similar to what Remy posted. > > Your returns are backwards. > sb 1 for fail, 0 for ok. > if/else incorrect. Nope, they're what I want. Yes its "backwards" from C convention, but its terribly convenient to be able to return multiple (non-zero) failures from a routine, and have a clue as to what part of a routine failed. In this particular routine, not significant, but its a convention I have in my code. Just think "shell" programming (not that I've done much of that), or I suppose even batch/command file is similar...
