It is implementation specific. yes DWORD is only used by Windows, and in the Windows world, the DWORD is a 32 bit unsigned integer since the Window 2.0 to the next XP64 , because again it has been defined platform independent ... if you don't think it's a standart, personnaly i don't care , DWORD , uint32 or U32 or GMPI_TYPE_32BIT_UNSIGNED_FOR_DUMBWHOWILLASK_IFITS_AN_INTEGER is also ok for me :-) return to bed VB ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Generalized Music Plugin Interface (GMPI) public discussion list Participation in this list is contingent upon your abiding by the following rules: Please stay on topic.
