Re: Opinions Wanted: List API loop logic

Yes, a larger entry size would generate the same error.  No good.


Given that, I'll join the vote for the example with

c    eval    p_ListEntry = p_ListStart +
c                    ( EntrySize * (EntryNo - 1) )

Yeah, wrapped lines are ugly.  But they're hard to avoid if you're using
long variable and procedure names.
