Thanks friend Herbert ..

HB> Mike,

HB> Yes, it's difficult. But look at it from a different
HB> angle: All char's have a numeric equivalent, and you
HB> don't have to use that numeric equivalent to check
HB> for chars in a switch:

HB> char num[2];
HB> // get a number/char whatever in num[]

HB> switch (*num)
HB> {
HB>   case '0':
HB>   .
HB>   case '9':
HB>   case 'a':
HB>   case 'A':
HB>   case 'b':
HB>   case 'B':
HB>   .
HB>   .
HB>   default:
HB> };

Correct ...

HB> I've been discussing Sarah's problem with her via e-
HB> mail, and the solution was similar to the above.

On hand.  Studying it.

But .. that doesn't help much where the comparator was X$, for example and X$
is a variable length string.  I was a bad boy at an earlier time in life and
I'm not much better now.  Basicly, I'm still trying to digest what I ate when I
was a younger programmer.  Gloom.
