    \t - Tab
    \f - Form Feed (I think)
    \0 - null terminator

    That reminds me: does VB.Net include escape chars like in Java/C++/etc, or are you still stuck with vbCrLf junk?

    Now here's another question...

    In C++, there's the long double data type. According to MSDN, long double and double are the same. So what is the point of having long doubles?

    Ah - I believe I can answer that - it is entirely dependant on the compiler how these data types get implemented. Whilst VC++ (what MSDN no doubt refers to) the implementation is the same, yet in another C++ compiler, they would be given different storage space.

    Laser - Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation.

    I dont know what SONAR is, but RADAR is Radio Detection and Ranging.
    You just proved that sig advertisements work.
