If you worry about this stuff you also worry about number of bits in the platform and God knows what else. You read and write the data on the same platform. I know you hate it when I supply ad-hoc statistics, but seriously, for like 2 people around the world that may serve a shared site from different platforms using the same cookie data, I wouldn't bother making the code platform independant. If you really think it's that important, we can make the current platform independant behavior optional. Zeev
