Could >someone tell me where I should look, or if such a limit exists? It looks like no such limit exists, so an implementation could set it at 1. I'm not sure if an implementation could set it at 0. Of course, any reasonable implementation could get a limit of 32767 by using a few ints (if the implementation is itself coded in C :-) so I think there "shouldn't" be any practical problem. But "shouldn't" != "can't", sigh.... -- Norman Diamond diamond@jit081.enet.dec.com If this were the company's opinion, I wouldn't be allowed to post it. "It's been a lovely recession."
