Which is why keeping it in the code when _most_ systems use LSB could leave some mis-uses (storing a negative int there) undetected until someone hits a border case on some non-LSB system... which will be very hard to debug. Better be proactive and get rid of those XFASTINT and XSETFASTINT things all-together (or at least make them equal to XINT and XSETINT on all systems)! -- Kim F. Storm http://www.cua.dk
