I'd be perfectly happy if the modulus operator were spelled "mod" instead of %, which has never struck me as particularly intuitive. My point was simply that % is not necessarily redundant with & in its most common uses. You can certainly still make a good argument for its repurposing on other grounds, but not that one. :) -- Mark REED | CNN Internet Technology 1 CNN Center Rm SW0831G | [EMAIL PROTECTED] Atlanta, GA 30348 USA | +1 404 827 4754
