PF>Nope.  The sizeof(*myChar) == sizeof(char) == 1.  This is

PF>  char *myChar=new char[BUFSIZE];
  >  memset(myChar,0, BUFSIZE);

Then what's so great about allocating memory dynamically?  I've just
recently started to do this, and this simply ruins the point.  Again,
those ANSI guys should have thought this through.  The sizeof() operator
should be "smart" and return the size of it regardless of how I created
it.
