Yes, I want to have a data structure with several different kinds of nodes. Each node contains common data that may be manipulated by general purpose routines that do not need understand the rest of the data in each node. I want to be sure that the layout of each node begins the same way. I don't want to use a union since the nodes range in size from a few bytes to hundreds of bytes (the larger nodes being rare). -- Scott Amspoker Basis International, Albuquerque, NM (505) 345-5232 unmvax.cs.unm.edu!bbx!bbxsda!scott
