What type of PC did you run this on Derek? My PC at work (PIII 650 Windows 2000 Professional) does this in 2.36 seconds (for a 4,121,548 bytes sized file) I haven't tried to optimise it yet (not sure what I could do really) Note: I won't be submitting my entry to contest 1 (I assume Derek won't either) Ray Smith http://rays-web.com
