Do you see any problems in doing bitshifting >using Int64? Does the presence of a sign bit cause any problems? The 2003 version of VB.NET has shift operators. It says that the shift operators treat negative signed numbers as unsigned values so it should be fine. I'm not sure about 2002 though. I wonder if you have just VB.NET or the whole studio? If you have the whole thing then you could write a shift function with another language. Another idea is multiplying or dividing by a power of 2 instead. The compiler should (I would hope) optimize that into a shift. Regards, Koundinya
