Does it help in any way for keep the math variable size real small. Meaning a small variable size keeps a smaller memory foot print then a varibale that is 15 characters.[math]abcdefghijklmno=1[/math] it does not care as long as it is 15 or underor is [math]a=1[/math] betterIf smaller is better then will drift to that in future templates I create. That is the reason for the question.=============================================== Gary Richter PanaVise Products, Inc. 7540 Colbert Dr. Reno, Nevada 89511 Ph: 775.850.2900 Fx: 775.850.2929 Email: grichter@panavise.com http://www.panavise.com ===============================================############################################################# This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list .
