Thanks to those that have responded to my query about malloc(). I asked it because I wanted to know whether there was a "known bug", or whether to look further in to my code. In the end I found the problem totally elsewhere in my program, where some pointer manipulation managed to hose up MS-DOS (I was clobbering low addresses). I found the problem when I compiled it on a Unix system that gave me a core dump on the offending operations. -- John Dudeck "You want to read the code closely..." jdudeck@Polyslo.CalPoly.Edu -- C.
