At the moment, giving it a big number is all you can do. Provision for some more explicit way of saying "never" is on the to-be-done list. When choosing big numbers, beware of integer overflow; 32 bits is none too large for this application. "10000" (slightly under 30 years) is safe for the next decade or two. -- It is not possible to both understand | Henry Spencer at U of Toronto Zoology and appreciate Intel CPUs. -D.Wolfskill| henry@zoo.toronto.edu utzoo!henry
