> If you're not using memcpy() or cpybwp then the > pointers are not copied, but rather are invalidated For those C newbies.

C language constructs cause the compiler and translator to generate the required underlying instructions to keep the pointers valid (within reason). Simple assignments and pointer arithmatic for example: struct1 = struct2 spacePointer += 10 "It was a rigorous result in information theory that once you could learn in a sufficiently flexible manner - something humanity had achieved in the Bronze Age - the only limits you faced were speed and storage; any other structural changes were just a matter of style."
