It's all been trivial apart from one line: #define HASH_WIDTH_ASCII 40 - printf("%-40s %s%s (%d subtrees)\n", + printf("%-" HASH_WIDTH_ASCII "s %s%s (%d subtrees)\n", This compiles, but I suspect that it's not going to do what I want it to do. It's something I've never been able to do in C - how does one get quotes around a defined value? I don't really want to resort to + printf("%-*s %s%s (%d subtrees)\n", HASH_WIDTH_ASCII, As that's a runtime change. Andy -- Dr Andy Parkins, M Eng (hons), MIEE andyparkins@gmail.com
