Just to expand (I got very confused by this when working on Clue): the standard decrees that sizeof() units are all relative to the size of a char. This means that on some esoteric platforms where chars are bigger than 8 bits, sizeof(char) will *still* be 1. To figure out how big it actually is you need CHAR_BIT in <limits.h>. Plus, sizeof(char) has nothing to do with the machine's address granularity (which may not be bytes; PICs use 14-bit words each individually addressable to store their program, for example). -- ┌─── 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
