Thanks any how. If anyone else would like to know how bucket sort works then you need to speak up. > Do you get a failure on the code below *without* >my_sort? NOPE !

I am trying to create compression. and I don't want the source floating about. THANKS. I haven't been able to track the Problem as of yet. I have noticed that it doesn't seem to occur unless. "size" is set above 200 BUT it might occur as low as 128. IT hasn't so far though. :-] Good luck tracking the problem. I haven't a clue. --Lucius Lamar Hilley III -- E-mail at luciuslhilleyiii at juno.com -- I can only support file transfers of less than 64K and in UUE format.
