(It's word addressable where each word can contain any value, so sizeof(int) == sizeof(double) == sizeof(char) == 1.) Should there, then, be another symbol to define the number of bits in a byte, distinct from the number of bits in a char? -- ┌─── ｄｇ＠ｃｏｗｌａｒｋ．ｃｏｍ ───── http://www.cowlark.com ───── │ "I have always wished for my computer to be as easy to use as my │ telephone; my wish has come true because I can no longer figure out │ how to use my telephone." --- Bjarne Stroustrup
