Here is an interesting thing I picked up in one of these magazines in this stack over here this month: First run this..... Print TIME$ For x = 1 to 10 For y = 1 to 10000 a = y Next y Print x Next x Print TIME$ now add DEFINT A-Z to the top of the code and run again. I knew to use integers whenever possible but I had no idea the difference was this astounding! B. --- Maximus 2.01wb * Origin: Programmers do it in code. (1:271/29)
