Thanks, Robert. Many people could not begin to appreciate the perfect beauty of a self evaluating loop triggered by an overflow condition. :) Its that kind thing that keeps me going. Searching for and trying to be more of a real programmer. I guess I enjoy the process more than the product.

"If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animated contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsel or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen."
