I'm not sure about that. There are things for which I think a proplib=20
woudl be fine, and there are things it isn't fine for. My understanding of=
=20
why you wanted p_flag2 was for flags. I think bits in an int is a very=20
efficient way of storing bit flags.
Just add it right before you add the feature that pushes us over 32 bits=20
worth of flags.
Take care,
Bill
