In Delphi you atleast need something1,something2 and something3 wich is much clearer ;) Switching to C I would do for a different reason. Borland doesn't seem very willing to upgrade the compiler (to Opteron). The current one doesn't even use CMOV. ( The compiler that is, the inline assembly does ) Tony BTW Delphi isn't really a tool, but a programming language. It's to pascal what C++ is to C. > >Best regards, >Hristo > >> >>Tony
