	I'm attempting to pass an array pointer to a class constructor.
What I'd like to do is allocate the array before initializing the 
object, then pass the pointer to the constructor (which would copy
the address to a private pointer).  However, the compiler says it
doesn't implement the ability to initialize one array with another
of an incompatible type.
	I tried passing the address of the first element, but this
seems to be getting me protection violations.  I did this sort of thing
under DOS all the time, so I really hope it is allowed.  I can
copy the contents of the original array into a new one that belongs
to the object, but this seems very inefficient.  Any suggestions?
