Every letter has a numerical value associated with it. The strcmp simply subtracts these two for each pari of letters in the string and if it anything other than zero then the string is not equl but if it is equl then it returns zero because there is no difference. THis can be confusing at first but it does have some logic to it. - Brandon +------------------------------------------------------------+ | Ensure that you have read the CircleMUD Mailing List FAQ: | | http://qsilver.queensu.ca/~fletchra/Circle/list-faq.html | +------------------------------------------------------------+
