How about taking this to alt.religion.computers? As for the usefulness of pointers, or whether they're the data-structure equivalent of a GOTO, remember that most practical people in this world are willing to accept that an occasional GOTO is useful or even desirable. And, remember that C is nearly 20 years old! It's not the perfect tool for every job, so what? You can't cook everything in a microwave oven, either. -- Peter da Silva. `-_-' +1 713 274 5180.
