I don't understand. Is this whole ``call to revolt'' simply because someone can't translate char *x; x += sizeof(int); into void * terminology? Here goes: void *x; x = (void *) (sizeof(int) + (char *) x); Sheesh. By the way, anyone who thinks that the ``safety'' of void * outweighs the portability of char * must live in a very limited environment. (An environment where you write code which only runs on one machine fits my definition of limited.) ---Dan
