Ok :)   BTW, which version of BC/2?  (I have 2.0)
Also, I never use memcpy(), I always use memmove().

Yes. But, in all the above, you didn't show where memcpy() was used.

just as an example, I'll give you this:

EXPT_DESC ex;
EXPT_DESC ex1;

/* copy ex to ex1 */
memmove(&ex1, &ex, sizeof(EXPT_DESC));
