I'm trying to create my own SLL toolkit using the generic node structure
discussed at the end of the 9/10/98 lecture.  For example, lets call the
header file with the tool/procedures to create and manipulate SLL's
SLL.h (like in the class notes).  In SLL.h we have:

struct SLLnode{
   SLLdata data;
   SLLnode *next;
};

// function prototypes of tool procedures

// function definitions of each tool/procedure

Let's call the file where main() lives work.C (like in the lecture).  In
this file we'll have:

struct SLLdata{
   char name [20];
   int age;
};

#include "SLL.h"
// other include statements like <iostream>, <strings>, etc...

void main()
{

// code for main()

}

My question is:  One of my procedures in SLL.h is SearchNode which finds
the first node that has a name that matches an input target.  How do I
reference the name field?  SLLnode->name generates errors from SLL.h
similar to:

CC: "SLL.h", line 31: error: member name undefined in class SLLnode
(1287)

I can see the usefulness of this abstraction IF I CAN GET TO THE
MEMBERS!  Enlightenment needed.

Thanks,
