My point was that the record code doesn't need the bits to be contiguous; it will still work properly as long as the result of (RVAL << SHFT) matches one of the xxVL field values. I have no intention of letting anyone change the code to break that since there are too many device supports and IOCs out there which could be relying on this. - Andrew -- Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake. -- Napoleon Bonaparte
