Firstly many thanks to all of the responses to my problem. The 4-bytes per data element (atom?) helped me greatly. Does that value apply regardless of data type? hmmmm........ The curious thing for me also is that the sequence was generated within euphoria, being built on-the-fly, then saved to disk. Admittedly it did take around 6 hours, which really wasn't what I was looking for - should've taken around 20-30 mins to run the other parts of code, which means 5-5 1/2 hours spent amending the sequence. Would hard-dimensioning the sequence prior to loading with data speed it up ? I remember basic having hissy fits when arrays were dimensioned part way thru the code, having to reshuffle data around each time - could this be a similar thing happening ? Anyway enough theorision, I'll work on a different file format & see how that goes. Cheers and thanks for the help, Michael
