How about a BIF to compute the size of an I/O list? Why? I have made a deep list that I want to output (guess what's it's HTML :-) I need to make an HTTP header element "Content-Length: ..." Which is the size of the flattened deep list , but I don't want to flatten it (horrors) or traverse it (in Erlang) to find the length. Suitable case for a BIF? /Joe
