Of course it's an option. As it turned out, that was the easiest way for me to proceed. I was a little concerned that the overhead of using longs might have been excessive, but for values close to zero (and by close I mean < millions) there's no significant time difference between arithmetic with ints and longints. -- Steven. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
