You could use:

    typedef NODE *PNODE;               // pointer to a node
    typedef PNODE *NODE_SLOTS;         // array of ptrs (size indetermined yet)
    typedef PNODE_LINKS *PNODE_SLOTS;  // likewise, array size yet indetermined

This would equal

    typedef NODE ***PNODE_SLOTS;

which is what you're after.
