G'Day Paul,

 PW> Seems that's the only way.  Or I could bid this echo farewell and move

OOP is still C , it's just more object oriented :)
  
 PW> So you mean it CAN be done with heapwalk() (if the array was allocated
 PW> from the heap) ???
Paul Edwards just re-posted it, have a look at it, it does work and 
won't take much to make it work with your code.
(after all i wrote it for the same task you're working on):)
 
 PW> Where's the closest SNIPPETS site to 3:640/772.3 that I can pick the
 PW> whole bunch up from?
My origin has snip9503.zip (ab 560K) you could try freqing that, but it's 
not the latest, i haven't seen that on any BBS i frequent. 
It's on the net though.
 
 PW> I was taught to "hate" global variables...  Come to think
of it -- why
 PW> ARE they bad anyway?
I think it's just that, having the variables declared near the procedure
using them, makes the code more readable. On larger programs a number of 
functions may act on the same global variable making it hard to keep track 
of things after a while, strange bugs etc...
 
 PW> Damn.  What's ISO's address?  I'll write to them and tell them to put
 PW> this heapwalk() function (and the rest of the heap-related functions of
:-) 
 
 PW> Righto.  So you want a BMW and I want a 10Mbit link to the US... :)
Dammit, you'll probably get it first :)

Cable networks will provide a digital connection next year, i'm with Optus
and they said it'll be about 10-15 times faster than current connections 
at 1/2 the current prices.I belive Telstra is about to do the same with 
Foxtel.

 PW> PPP?  SLIP?  Shell?
A number of times a day. Only if i miss. No it's implemented in my program. 
It's PPP. :-)
