That's pointer-heavy, and will use about twoce as much RAM to accomplish the same thing in 64-bit more as 32-bit mode. Unless you have more than about 6gig of RAM, whereupon 64-bit is a win again. But most users don't do that. -- hendrik k -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
