BL> WHAAATT!!????? What the fuck does THAT mean?

Well, qsort will give you the address of an array element.  The array
elements call have char * in them, so the ADDRESS of that, is char **. So
qsort is giving you a char **.  But you're not after the address of the
array element, you're after the data that is stored in that element.  So
you need to dereference it with *.  BFN.  Paul.
