Been a few years since I touched that. And even then, I was only playing :) And, I fogot - but Pascal supports it as well. So, I take it back :) There are some statically compiled languages that do it... That wasn't to imply that they couldn't by the way, just that I couldn't think of any of the top. > Still don't see why it was never added into VB. It would be a nice feature. I use it all the time when I was doing Perl full time :) I think I'll have to implement a collection in C# that does support it... -- Tom Shelton

Why not use Fortran instead and get it for essentially free as well as concordant storage order? (smirk...) --
