I don't see any simultaneous uses of the 2 buffers, so here's the union version of the patch (attached this time), although it only saves 4 bytes... so maybe the compiler had already realized that usage. Either one accomplishes a large stack reduction, but the first one is slightly more readable & maintainable (to me), and less error-prone (or more future-proof) (again, to me). Thanks, -- ~Randy
