Now, that number reminds me of intiger basic. 2 to the power of 16 = 32768 so that's a 16-bit address. Same reason why integers max out at 32768 if 16-bit numbers. Remember the old 640kb limit in DOS? Apparently IBM said nobody would ever use that much memory hehe. Now you can buy terrabyte drives for cheap. -- Doug
