I don't know what you mean. A For-loop has it's limits anyway. And when decrementing 'manually' I would stop if INDEX=0. For 0-based arrays I would stop if INDEX=-1? What would be different? For 1-based arrays I would never get an index<0 because it stops at zero. _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
