I'm a little concerned that the #define doesn't fix up MSVC for you. particle, any suggestions here? (He wrote that code for a similar issue.) You're right about the typo fix though, so I'll apply the patch if we can figure out how to fix both issues at once. I fear using unsigned char directly because of platforms where it isn't exactly eight bits long. Sometimes you can tell I'm too paranoid to be a brilliant C hacker. -- c
