I was actually gonna respond to the post with this same opinion, but figured someone else would :-) Eh well, great minds... Yes, it is really a boon to use unsigneds with bitvectors, because with signed when you >> you shift IN 1s on the left, but with unsigned it shifts in 0s. ObCircle: This should probably be made part of bpl12, or at least one of George's stockpatches. ObCircle2; Just what does the Ob on ObCircle stand for, anyways? :-) - Chris Jacobson +------------------------------------------------------------+ | Ensure that you have read the CircleMUD Mailing List FAQ: | | http://democracy.queensu.ca/~fletcher/Circle/list-faq.html | +------------------------------------------------------------+
