As I understand it (or don't, rather) the odds are one in 2,147,...,... (2 billion) But that's only in theory. In practice, I think people have demonstrated that it's not really 1 in 2 billion. It's still damned unlikely, but making *SURE* with the loop you've got is cheap and easy, so I'd stick with that. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm
