Using a pointer to an array, rather than concatonation was my first thought as well. You could try allocating some low memory and poking it directly there instead; that might trim off another .05%. :) Jacques has some file routines that write directly to disk, using BIOS calls. These might save you a little more time. Finally, there might be some small increase if you saved the whole 1.3 meg file buffer, and then wrote it all out to disk at once. I'm assuming that there might be some accumulated delays in separated disk seeks that might be avoided through a single write. Of course, even if that were true, it may not offset the time it takes Euphoria to build the structure, although I always assume that hardware is *much* slower than software, though. Good luck! -- David Cuny
