Yep. If yer machine has 32 bit longs (I would wager yes.) The highest bit you can reference on a shift is (1 << 31) -- meaning shift 1 31 times to the left, putting it into the 32nd bit slot. If yer fortunate enough to have larger longs, more power to ya. In this case, it is the size that counts :P. jtrhone aka Vall +-----------------------------------------------------------+ | Ensure that you have read the CircleMUD Mailing List FAQ: | | http://cspo.queensu.ca/~fletcher/Circle/list_faq.html | +-----------------------------------------------------------+
