Now inserting 65535 works, but inserting 65536 gives me 0 unless I cast to uint4! Searching the mailing list is not working for the individual mailing lists (I get Error: File Not Found - Did you enter the correct domain name, or URL? from ReadySetNet), and searching through all the files at uni-erlangen.de turned up nothing. Can somebody tell me when that discussion took place? Or tell me where to look in the code? Thanks! Adriaan
