    Yeah, there were 3 post of confusion, and 7 responses for you to get the idea afterwards. Sounds like it may have worked.

    There is another use of union I've used:

    union{
    double dval;
    int ival[];
    char cval[];
    long lval[];
    float fval[];
    };

    This union can be used to display one value in another format. I've used it to, for example, load a float and display the bytes that make up the float.
