Yeah, but if I start using classes and objects all over the place and then

start asking about them in HERE... <:-\

You tried to do the EXACT same thing?!?  Cool -- can I get a look at your

code too?

I'd better look around and see if I can get a newer version (I don't really

want to make an STD call just to find a more recent one nearby :)

Oh well.  I'll keep an eye out for it then...

Well, if heapwalk() is so useful, why not?  Maybe someone could code their

own portable heapwalk() and post it here???
