Not that I wrote the double-quoted line above, but...no, I don't think I have. Certainly not recently enough to remember it. But then, I don't assume more about bit-fields than the language promises. A lot of people seem to assume that "the way it works for me on my dev box" is what the language promises. This is a recipe for nasty surprises in almost any system/language/etc. /~\ The ASCII Mouse \ / Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML mo...@rodents-montreal.org / \ Email! 7D C8 61 52 5D E7 2D 39 4E F1 31 3E E8 B3 27 4B
