---- regarding large arrays, are we talking about local arrays (defined inside a function) or globals? i know that even the first st version of alcyon (for example) has no problems with a global like unsigned int array[100000]; though local arrays of this size are probably not possible (have never even needed to try it out). an obvious solution to this whole problem is to Malloc (not malloc) the space and then refer to the pointer. this works with 1 dimensional arrays but multidimensional arrays would be tricky. -bill
