  In december you were leaving messages on Pete's message board about

  how you didn't know anything about the PE format or anything about

  win32 and you didn't know anything about assembler. Since December

  have gain a great amount of knowledege about how to translate VB and

  using peeks & pokes ( assembler ) for bench marks. Your solution to

  sequences is to use arrays, straight arrays are not dynamic so why

  don't you explain how to use a array to emulate a sequence. It would

  be ok to to explain this in C++ or any other langauge that you wish

  because many of the users on this list understand more than one

  programming langauge.

  Looking forward to your example.

  Thanks
