Mike -- I included your idea with a few of mine, and came up with a routine
that's the fastest yet, while still allowing *any* object to be passed in as
a parm:


global type string12(object x)
sequence s
   if not sequence(x) then
      return 0
   end if
   s = x -- this is key
   for i = 1 to length(s) do
      x = s[i]
      if integer(x) then
         if x < 1 then
            return 0
         elsif x > 255 then
            return 0
         end if
      else
         return 0
      end if
   end for
   return 1
end type


Be seeing you,
